The Sentence ws invented by the 18th century and was based on the
academic study of Hebrew, Greek and Latin.... The regularization of
both grammar and spelling was the likely result of seeking to apply
Law and Order to the human spirit.... The Sentence is thought-control,
thought-restraint, effective censorship.... The Sentence is not
organic to language. Only thought is.... The airplane defied walking,
as the imagination defies the earth-bound Sentence.... Thought will
not be confined, private conversation is never conducted in
Sentences.... Money and Sentences are made of the same base measure:
popular success.... Popular Success is crippled, caned, strapped,
twisted, limping, broken: lusting only after pornography -- its pain
so great, it seeks relief only in distraction.
-- Stanley Berne. Future Language, NY: Horizon Press, 1976.
