Ownership of thought depends on the thinker not subordinating himself to a ‘ruling thought'. This is particularly difficult, argues Stirner, ... for language itself is a network of ‘fixed ideas'. Truths emerge only when language is reworked and possessed individually.

The laws of certain states ...give an ownership in the service of negroes as personal property.... But being men, by the laws of God and nature, they were capable of acquiring liberty-and when the captor in war ...thought fit to give them liberty, the gift was not only valid, but irrevocable.
Alexander Hamilton
Thought without language, says Lavelle, would not be a purer thought; it would be no more than the intention to think. And his last book offers a theory of expressiveness which makes of expression not "a faithful image of an already realized interior being, but the very means by which it is realized.”.
Maurice Merleau-Ponty
When I first moved to LA, no one could understand a thing I said, you would think I was speaking another language. Every time I would order something at Starbucks, they would go, 'Huh? What did you say?' My accent was an issue and my low voice was as well. They thought I should be more girlie. But that's who I am.
