“At the heart of any language, then, is the poetic productivity of expressive speech. A living language is continually being made and remade, woven out of the silence by those who speak.… And this silence is that of our wordless participations, of our perceptual immersion in the depths of an animate, expressive world.”
― David Abram, The Spell of the Sensuous: Perception and Language in a More-Than-Human World
