Language liberates and confines, illuminates and blinds; language giveth and language taketh away.
Language is a blessing and a curse: it can be used to clarify or distort, to elucidate or obscure, to enlighten or deceive, to inform or inflame.
Language is Jacob's ladder, the magic beanstalk; language is the delimiting vessel of a bonsai tree, the whalebone stays of a Victorian corset.
Navigate carefully and language is your path to the heavens; misstep and it's a minefield that will blow your starship to smithereens.
