All Wishes, All Aspirations, All Hopes, All Fears, All Doubts, All Determinations Grow Stronger And Stronger

“All wishes, all aspirations, all hopes, all fears, all doubts, all determinations grow stronger and stronger precisely in proportion as they get themselves expressed in words, forms, colours, and action.”

— Frederick Douglass, “Lecture on Pictures (1861)”

“Our language can be seen as an ancient city: a maze of little streets and squares, of old and new houses, and of houses with additions from various periods; and this surrounded by a multitude of new boroughs with straight regular streets and uniform houses.”

— Ludwig Wittgenstein, Philosophical Investigations

“An entire mythology is stored within our language.”

— Ludwig Wittgenstein, Philosophical Occasions, 1912-1951
