I used to blog at "[V]aried thinking and writing are assuredly impossible unless we possess a liberal stock of words, the raw materials of expression. If words are dependent on thoughts, thoughts are also dependent on words. We cannot think, save in a rudimentary, animal fashion, without an abundance of words. Thoughts without words are scarcely thoughts at all. Every time we master a new word, indeed, we are also extending the scope and power of our mental life."
