“God who has created us has given us the use of language, that we may reveal the plans of our heart to each other and through our shared nature we may each give a share to our neighbour, as if from some treasury, showing forth our intentions from what lies hidden in our heart. For if we spent our lives with naked souls, we would immediately communicate with each other through our thoughts; but since our soul is concealed under veils of flesh as it produces through, words and names are necessary to make public the things lying in the depth.”

- St. Basil, On The Human Condition
