“Knowledge is of two kinds: we know a subject ourselves, or we know where we can find information upon it.”—Samuel Johnson
“A language is never in a state of fixation, but is always changing; we are not looking at a lantern-slide but at a moving picture.”—Andrew Lloyd James, linguist
“It is often forgotten that [dictionaries] are artificial repositories, put together well after the languages they define. The roots of language are irrational and of a magical nature.”—Jorge Luis Borges, writer (1899–1986)
