Psychoanalysts in France, structuralists in the United States and France, conservative, liberal and left-wing thinkers in contemporary schools of linguistic philosophy agree about one thing; man became man not by the tool but by the Word. It is not walking upright and using a stick to dig for food or strike a blow that makes a human being, it is speech. And neither intelligent apes, nor dolphins whispering marvels in the ocean, share with us the ability to transform this direct communication into the written word, which sets up an endless chain of communication and commune between peoples and generations who will never meet.

Thanks for your comment. It's like a time machine, you can find out what people thought in the past.

I am trying to find a reference for this, as it is such a wonderful quote. I would like to use it! Is it directly from her, or your blog on her work?

Thanks for your inquiry Joy. I am not active on this website anymore, but I checked my records, and unfortunately I cannot find the source material. I found somebody else that posted the same quote, but the link to their source, advice to writers, ( https://gointothestory.blcklst.com/on-writing-4e8614fd63ee) doesn't work. You can still use it stating that it is an alleged quote or unverified quote. Sorry I could not answer your question.
