To me the term ‘middle-class’ connotes a safe comfortable middle-of-the road policy. Above all our language is ‘middle-class’ in the middle of our road. To drive it to one side or the other or even off the road is the noblest task of the future.

Often I am struck in amazement about a word: I suddenly realize that the complete arbitrariness of our language is but a part of the arbitrariness of our own world in general.
