I think there's been a gigantic shift in the way we talk to each other, and the way that we communicate with each other.

I think the use of language is a very important means by which this species, because of its biological nature, creates a kind of social space, to place itself in interactions with other people.

It is actually a nice question how far Descartes himself endorses the monological and metaphysically dualistic theory of mind associated with his name and his legacy in early modern philosophy.

It is a mass language only in the same sense that its baseball slang is born of baseball players. That is, it is a language which is being molded by writers to do delicate things and yet be within the grasp of superficially educated people.

It is chiefly through books that we enjoy intercourse with the superior minds, and these invaluable means of communication are in reach of all. In the best books, great men talk to us, give us their most precious thoughts, and pour their souls into ours. God be thanked for books.

They give to all, who faithfully use them, the society, the spiritual presence of the best and greatest of our race.

It is critical that the world captures every last bit of energy efficiency, if we are to reduce greenhouse gas emissions enough to keep below dangerous rises in temperature.

It is frequently said that speech that is intentionally provocative and therefore invites physical retaliation can be punished or suppressed. Yet, plainly no such general proposition can be sustained. Quite the contrary.... The provocative nature of the communication does not make it any the less expression.

The audience, just as the speaker, has an obligation to maintain physical restraint.

It is good to rub and polish our brain against that of others.

It is so important for us to have faith, trust, confidence in one another. It is the only way we can communicate.

Even if it doesn't die right away, it will be so ill, so weak, and so tired that communication will be miserable as well.
