But now it has become apparent that the human language is inadequate to express the depth of humanity. We apply "attraction" to an act of electron, "fuck" this or that for artistic emphasis, and chat pompously in "1337".

There are so many words to say one thing, and so little time to say it, that must have made Mr. Prufrock exclaimed: “It is impossible to say just what I mean!”

On this very special day, before the cliché candlelight dinner by the seaside, do you prefer a fluffy teddy bear, a pink hallmark card, or an obscure quotation about love sent through MSN Messenger?

A "clear word" and a benevolent, pointing out the better course, seems powerless today; world events pass all such over with brutal disregard. But let us hold fast to the anti-diabolic faith, that mankind has after all a “keen learning,” and that words born of one’s own striving may do it good and not perish from its heart.
— Thomas Mann
