It is still not enough for language to have clarity and content... it must also have a goal and an imperative. Otherwise from language we descend to chatter, from chatter to babble and from babble to confusion.

  • -- Rene Daumal 多马尔

语言的清晰度和内容仍然不够……它还必须有一个目标和一个当务之急。否则,我们从语言堕落到喋喋不休,从喋喋不休到胡言乱语,从胡言乱语到混乱不堪。
