"We don't own [language]. We walk around pretending like we do. We give it order and we grab it and control it and pretend that that's meaning, but it's an arbitrary, free-floating sign system, which means any other group of people could grab it differently and order it differently and make a different meaning. It's like the ocean in that way. You can't grab the ocean."
