“Hay que decir que nunca sobrevaloraremos la importancia del lenguaje en la vida de los seres humanos. En realidad, lo que hace que seamos humanos y no ya una especie más de simios es nuestra capacidad de hablar. Esto nos ha dado poder para crear una herencia social, de modo que nos es dado acumular el conocimiento amasado en el pasado, y nos ha dado también el poder de analizar la experiencia, que nos llega en forma muy caótica, y darle un sentido en función de nuestros particulares fines biológicos y sociales. Éste es el don más grande que el hombre jamás ha recibido o se ha dado a sí mismo, el don del lenguaje. Pero hemos de recordar que a pesar de que el lenguaje nos es absolutamente esencial, puede ser también absolutamente fatal porque lo utilizamos indebidamente.”
