    “The writer’s language is to some degree the product of his own action; he is both the historian and the agent of his own language.”
    —Paul De Man (1919–1983)

    “We might hypothetically possess ourselves of every technological resource on the North American continent, but as long as our language is inadequate, our vision remains formless, our thinking and feeling are still running in the old cycles, our process may be “revolutionary” but not transformative.”
