Should this hypothesis one day be verified, then lingusitics would become a branch of biology.

We need to learn that each new day and each new year offers continual revelation.

This process is becoming conscious.

The feeling of surprise, the feeling of being transported is further away.
David CopperfieldThere's something magical that happens when people eat from the same pot. The family meal is really the nursery of democracy. It's where we learn to share; it's where we learn to argue without offending. It's just too critical to let go, as we've been so blithely doing.
Michael PollanIt's not necessary to tell all you know. It's not ladylike -- in the second place, folks don't like to have someone around knowin' more than they do. It aggravates them.
