"...But language...is a medium without any built-in guarantees of verisimilitude; it can therefore give rise to errors in knowledge, and it can be used deliberately to provoke such errors. As a representation rather than a thing- words rather than actual ideas or feelings- language can be either a true expression or representation of feelings or ideas, or it can be a false semblance of something true."

- Michael Ryan, 1999
