“A mind enclosed in language is in prison.”

“At the very best, a mind enclosed in language is in prison. It is limited to the number of relations which words can make simultaneously present to it; and remains in ignorance of thoughts which involve the combination of a greater number. These thoughts are outside language, they are unformulable, although they are perfectly rigorous and clear and although every one of the relations they involve is capable of precise expression in words. So the mind moves in a closed space of partial truth, which may be larger or smaller, without ever being able so much as to glance at what is outside.”

“The two most beautiful words in the English language are 'check enclosed.”

“Scrape the surface of language, and you will behold interstellar space and the skin that encloses it.”

“Enclosed within the tyranny of our minds and there is where we are lost.”

“If you know only one language, you're a prisoner, stuck in the tyranny of that one language.”
