“Language, you see, is a lot like a bow, in that if you don’t bend it, it doesn’t shoot. But it’s also like Russian Roulette. Because any damage that the bend does … or failing to bend it properly … results in it shooting you in the head. This quickly results in such severe damage to your intelligence that you grow less likely to notice this result with each repetition. So, first, you have to bend it. Then you have to direct the result with such noble intention that instead of forming a weapon … it becomes wings.”
