Levraoueg
The Library didn’t only contain magical books, the ones which are chained to their shelves and are very dangerous. It also contained perfectly ordinary books, printed on commonplace paper in mundane ink. It would be a mistake to think that they weren’t also dangerous, just because reading them didn’t make fireworks go off in the sky. Reading them sometimes did the more dangeous trick of making fireworks go off in the privacy of the reader’s brain. Terry Pratchett

Il est absolument essentiel de faire parler ces langues locales.
Cornelius Castoriadis
Languages and linguistics: A collective dream. More or less by agreement, we all cast spells on ourselves and on others. It matters what we write and say and how we write and say it!
Mental causation
Ever since Descartes advanced the notion of a radical substance dualism, there has been an ongoing argument against the notion that an immaterial mind cannot interact with a material body.
