And you’d spend years trying to decipher the sentence,
until finally you’d understand it. But after a whileyou’d realize you got it wrong, and the sentence meantsomething else entirely. And so you’d have two sentences.Then three, and four, and ten, until you’d created a new language. —Tadeusz Dąbrowski, translated by Antonia Lloyd-Jones
