About This Quote
New words are needed to describe new worlds, people, and ideas. The world of 2013 is not the same as it was in 1600, yet we still use the same words to refer to it. For example, our language cannot capture the scope of the universe. The way we describe things changes over time. The world of 2013 may be completely different than what was seen in 1600, but our language remains unchanged.
