Creativity often shows up at the intersection of various thoughts. Here are three that play with the power of language … what do they spark for you?

“Human speech is like a cracked kettle on which we tap crude rhythms for bears to dance to, while we long to make music that will melt the stars.”

― Gustave Flaubert, Madame Bovary
 
“The limits of my language mean the limits of my world.”
― Ludwig Wittgenstein
 
“If you talk to a man in a language he understand, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart.” 
― Nelson Mandela
