"A common creation demands a common sacrifice, and perhaps not the least potent argument in favour of a constructed international language is the fact that it is equally foreign, or apparently so, to the traditions of all nationalities."

"The attitude of independence toward a constructed language which all national speakers must adopt is really a great advantage, because it tends to make man see himself as the master of language instead of its obedient servant."
Attitude
"The modern mind tends to be more and more critical and analytical in spirit, hence it must devise for itself an engine of expression which is logically defensible at every point and which tends to correspond to the rigorous spirit of modern science."
Science
"A standard international language should not only be simple, regular, and logical, but also rich and creative."
Language
"It is no secret that the fruits of language study are in no sort of relation to the labour spent on teaching and learning them."
Language
"In a sense, every form of expression is imposed upon one by social factors, one's own language above all."
Expression
"French and German illustrate the misleading character of apparent grammatical simplicity just as well."
Character
"Comparison of statements made at different periods frequently enable us to give maximal and minimal dates to the appearance of a cultural element or to assign the time limits to a movement of population."
Time
"Both French and Latin are involved with nationalistic and religious implications which could not be entirely shaken off, and so, while they seemed for a long time to have solved the international language problem up to a certain point, they did not really do so in spirit."
Time
"We see and hear and otherwise experience very largely as we do because the language habits of our community predispose certain choices of interpretation."
Experience
"The psychology of a language which, in one way or another, is imposed upon one because of factors beyond one's control, is very different from the psychology of a language which one accepts of one's free will."
