I Ascribe A Basic Importance To The Phenomenon Of Language. To Speak Means To Be In A Position To Use A Certain Syntax, To Grasp The Morphology Of This Or That Language, But It Means Above All To Assume A Culture, To Support The Weight Of A Civilization.

The Colonized Is Elevated Above His Jungle Status In Proportion To His Adoption Of The Mother Country's Cultural Standards.
