Wendell Berry

This cannot be called cruelty or greed because we are seeking only to recover our investment and that is a sacred duty. Barry Unsworth

Neighborless and seamless, he is Thou and fills the firmament. Not as if there were nothing but he; but everything else lives in his light. Martin Buber
If language naturally evolves to serve the needs of tiny rodents with tiny rodent brains, then what's unique about language isn't the brilliant humans who invented it to communicate high-level abstract thoughts.
