Dan Simmons Quote
A philosopher/mathematician named Bertrand Russell who lived and died in the same century as Gass once wrote: Language serves not only to express thought but to make possible thoughts which could not exist without it. Here is the essence of mankind’s creative genius: not the edifices of civilization nor the bang-flash weapons which can end it, but the words which fertilize new concepts like spermatazoa attacking an ovum.
