" Lew Wygotski, the renowned defectologist wrote:
"Words die giving birth to thoughts, implying thereby that thought and speech transcend one another."
This is along much the same lines as Schopenhaur's assertion that thoughts die the minute they are dressed in words. Words are but reference points for experiences, the idea of conversation being to evoke common ground through associations between people. But maybe there are other ways of arriving at the same result. It is sometimes said that a picture says more than a thousand words. So does music; it is a method of conveyeing emotional states of mind from the creator to the listener. "
