If everything is perfect, language is useless. This is true for animals. If animals dont speak, its because everythings perfect for them. If one day they start to speak, it will be because the world has lost a certain sort of perfection. – Jean Baudrillard
Heinrich Heine so loosened the corsets of the German language that today every little salesman can fondle her breasts. – Karl Kraus, translated from German by Harry Zohn
It has been said that the immortality of the soul is a grand peut-tre –but still it is a grand one. Everybody clings to it –the stupidest, and dullest, and wickedest of human bipeds is still persuaded that he is immortal. – Lord (George Gordon) Byron
