Every day, in every moment, you get to exercise choices that will determine whether or not you will become a great person, living a great life.

I can't help but admire the structural linguists who have carved out for themselves a linguistic discipline based on the deterioration of written communication.

We carve on our body what society teaches us and continue this task, not knowing the identity they force us to have. This identity is carved on our faces and our skins.
