An important quote to me is this one, by Samuel Beckett:

"Every word is like an unnecessary stain on silence and nothingness"

A few comments:

  • I find the word unnecessary to be unnecessary in this quote. It reads better as "Every word is like a stain on silence and nothingness". Stains are obviously bad - we don't want them.
  • Google's AI overview about this quote says that it is "often used to express the feeling of words being a disruption to the inherent quietude and emptiness of existence". This is not how I see the quote at all. To me, its about the fact that a good model for language is that every word has some intrinsic negative quality to it. If you can make a sentence shorter and retain its essential features, then you've made a better sentence.
  • I apply the spirit of this quote to several aspects of my life. For instance, quasiparticles[1] and worldly posessions.
