Summary

This quote suggests that in order to expand our understanding and knowledge, we must challenge the limitations imposed by language. Thinking critically and beyond the confines of conventional language allows us to question the boundaries we perceive.

By doing so, we open ourselves up to new perspectives and possibilities.
