“Language is a shared and sharing part of culture
that cares little about formal classifications and much about vitality and
connection, for culture itself perishes in purity or isolation, which is the
deadly wages of perfection. Like bread and love, language is shared with
others. And human beings share a tradition. There is no creation without
tradition. No one creates from nothing.”—Carlos Fuentes (1928-2012), “How I
Started to Write,” in Myself With Others:Selected Essays (1990)
