“After all, when you come right down to it, how many people speak the same language even when they speak the same language?”
“Why doesn't everyone speak the same language?”
“A mystic doesn’t say “I believe.” They say “I know.” A true mystic will ironically speak with that self-confidence but at the same time with a kind of humility. So when you see that combination of calm self-confidence, certitude, and humility all at the same time you have the basis for mysticism in general.”
“Language reveals the man. Speak that I may see thee.”
“To speak a language is to take on a world, a culture.”
