“To say "all that which does not exist" is to introduce, effectively, a new concept, but it does not bring into existence anything more than that very concept which it introduces. That is, a certain entity about which we know nothing except that it bears the name of "all that which does not exist.”

“If every word introduces a new concept, the simple phrase "all that which does not exist" is sufficient to make everything that does not exist, exist.”

“If you are able to introduce a white person to a new cheese, it's like introducing them to a future spouse.”

“During the period of the Renaissance, the English language changed very swiftly in keeping with rapid social, economic and political changes. However, writers in particular soon came to realise that the vocabulary of the English language did not always allow them to talk and write accurately about the new concepts, techniques and inventions which were emerging in Europe. At the same time a period of increasing exploration and trade across the whole world introduced new words, many of which had their origin in other languages. Historians of the language have suggested that between 1500 and 1650 around 12,000 new words were introduced into English.”

“The fundamental concept in social science is Power, in the same sense in which Energy is the fundamental concept in physics.”
