I really like this quote because it makes me think of a comedic piece by Paulien Cornelisse, a Dutch comedian, she talks about how one cave woman is fed up with her caveman’s behaviour and is unable to utter a word until she finds the tutting sound. Tutting is the universal sound for disapproval and the idea of that being the first uttered sound pleases me greatly.

This speaks to our psychology: we feel superior because we can speak and reflect on ourselves. However, our reflections leave a lot to be desired and our speaking often gets us into trouble.
