Turning Thoughts Into Words

From "The Adolescent" by Fyodor Dostoevsky:
Ah! so you, too, suffer sometimes because a thought won't go into words! It's a noble suffering, my friend, and granted only to the chosen; a fool is always pleased with what he says, and, besides he always says more than he needs to; they like extras.

I'm getting the impression that you're very well read. FYI, your reference to Jillette's essay inspired my last blog.
