As words are not the things we speak about, and structure is the only link between them, structure becomes the only content of knowledge. If we gamble on verbal structures that have no observable empirical structures, such gambling can never give us any structural information about the world. Therefore such verbal structures are structurally obsolete, and if we believe in them, they induce delusions or other semantic disturbances.

Riches I need not, nor man's empty praise.

The present non-aristotelian system is based on fundamental negative premises; namely, the complete denial of 'identity.'

It is a fallacy of the old schools to divide man into parcels, elements, thoughts, emotions, intuitions, etc. All human faculties consist of an interconnected whole.

He who learns and learns and yet does not know what he knows, is one who plows and plows yet never sows.

If words are not things, or maps are not the actual territory, then, obviously, the only possible link between the objective world and the linguistic world is found in structure, and structure alone.

I want to make clear only that words are not the things spoken about, and that there is no such thing as an object in absolute isolation.
