Language (n.) opens ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠a hole in reality and shifts the axis of our look, so the world doubles into itself and the void of the Thing.

Language (n.) and ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠not selfish interest is the first and greatest divider: thanks to it neighbors on the same street live in different worlds.

Language (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠never without an object: even when it seems to talk only about itself, it circles elliptically around a void, the lost object.

Language (n.) does ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠not label reality; it digs a hole in it — when I just see you I see you, but only naming you points to the abyss beyond what I see.

Language (n.) is, ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠in an unheard-of sense, a Stalinist phenomenon: to penetrate its origins you need not go back to the pre-Socratics — the History of the Communist Party (Bolsheviks) is more than sufficient.
