Language Quote by Douglas Adams

““I haven’t seen anyone for years,” he said, “not anyone. I can hardly remember how to speak. I keep forgetting words. I practise, you see. I practise by talking to…talking to…what are those things people think you’re mad if you talk to? Like George the Third.” “Kings?” suggested Ford. “No, no,” said Arthur. “The things he used to talk to. We’re surrounded by them for Heaven’s sake. I’ve planted hundreds myself. They all died. Trees! I practise by talking to trees. What’s that for?” Ford still had his hand stuck out. Arthur looked at it with incomprehension. “Shake,” prompted Ford.””
