Of this saying.

Language is like a Virus

We must find out what words are and how they function.
They become images when written down,
but images of words repeated in the mind
and not of the image of the thing itself."

Nah...I work with a guy who's always quoting one of those old writers.. He's really big on Burroughs, Kerouac, Ginsberg.. stuff like that...I knew I heard it once somewhere, sometime at work..
Crazy stuff.... :blink: :hmmm: nothing I'm into though...

I spent 15 minutes looking for that quote, actually found it in about 1 minute, but then started reading about the dude, went back to post the answer and Nightbreed already had it :rofl: :) :thumbs:
