Language (Again)

"We shall never understand one another until we reduce the language to seven words" (1). "Through sense and nonsense, never out nor in" (2), "the beautiful thing is that words aren't necessary" (3). "No one means all he says, and yet very few say all they mean, for words are slippery and thought is viscous" (4).
"Philosophy is a battle against the bewitchment of our intelligence by means of language" (5).

"What one has not experienced, one will never understand in print" (6). "For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin -- real life," (7) "so," (8) "drawing on my fine command of the English language, I said nothing." (9)

"Last words are for people who haven't said anything in life." (10)
