"Language is the most imperfect and expensive..." - Quote by William James

“The aim of science is always to reduce complexity to simplicity.”

“Act in earnest and you will become earnest in all you do.”

“'Pure experience' is the name I gave to the immediate flux of life which furnishes the material to our later reflection with its conceptual categories.”

“Why is a person who plays the piano called a pianist but a person who drives a racing car not called a racist?”

“For precisely when concepts fail one,Words are found at the right time.”

“What is originality? To see something that has no name as yet and hence cannot be mentioned although it stares us all in the face. The way men usually are, it takes a name to make something visible for them.”

“In language clarity is everything.”

“We need language to tell us who we are, how we feel, what we're capable of- to explain the pains and glory of our existence.”

“I have found that no exertion of the legs can bring two minds much nearer to one another.”
