Michael > Michael's Quotes

“Linguists are no different from any other people who spend more than nineteen hours a day pondering the complexities of grammar and its relationship to practically everything else in order to prove that language is so inordinately complicated that it is impossible in principle for people to talk.”
― Ronald Langacker

“Reason" in language - oh, what an old deceptive female she is! I am afraid we are not rid of God because we still have faith in grammar.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, Twilight of the Idols / The Anti-Christ
