"We're not sane and it's language that has made us this way."

Interesting thought. But what would Monsieur Quignard, say to this?. One would think Mad Dogs (and Englishmen) would carry on with their insane ways with or without the benefit of language.

Alas, not currently having access to a computer with sound card, I'm unable to enjoy the link. But I'm pretty sure to find anything involving madness and Englishmen interesting...

As for Monsieur Quignard, he writes books consisting almost entirely of trivia. That's my kind of writer.
