“Humans free themselves from conceptual traps by freeing themselves from paradigms that close horizons instead of opening them. Language is the supreme instrument of thought, but a number is a word, too; without a word, there would be no number. Every number corresponds not only to the graphic symbol but also to the linguistic one. Conceptually, numbers and words are different because words represent or name things and phenomena, while numbers represent the quantitative or numeric value of things and phenomena. We understand the function and the role of numbers and words. Through words, others know what we think or want to say. However, even a bird knows what the nest is by feeling it intuitively. A dog, thrown away ten miles from the house where it lived, will find it. Animals often communicate among themselves.”

“Humans get hungry for blue, it seems: to hold the sea in
their hands, to wear the sky in their hair, to drape themselves in the hazy blue of distant mountains. Blue is more
than a colour: it is a feeling. We don’t say that we feel orange or
purple, but we say we feel blue when our souls are sad and heavy. We
play or sing or listen to the blues to express this sensation. Like any
colour, it cannot be adequately described with words, only experienced, known through the eyes and the soul.
Making blue has always been magic: the domain of alchemists since the beginning of human history. To find red only required blood or
berries or the smearing of red clay. To make brown was as simple as
reaching down to the earth beneath one’s feet. White chalk is plentiful in many places, or can be replaced by fire ash. But blue appears
rarely in forms from which paints or dyes can be made…blue requires earthly magic.”

How tall will it grow?”
