I've forgotten the words with which to tell you. I knew them once, but I've forgotten them, and now I'm talking to you without them.
You can hear me starting to stutter and slur my words.
A barbarian who could not write a sentence of grammar and hardly could spell his own name.... One of our tribe of great men who turn disease to commodity...he craves the sympathy for sickness as a portion of his glory.
The incapacity to name is a good symptom of disturbance.
I am increasingly afflicted by vertigo where words mean nothing
It's likely that taboo words are stored in the right hemisphere of the brain. Massive left hemisphere strokes or the entire surgical removal of the left hemisphere can leave people with no articulate speech other than the ability to swear, spout cliches and song lyrics.
The time-deaf are unable to speak what they know. For speech needs a sequence of words, spoken in time.
I had - there were three strokes, and I lost my ability to read and write and speak, and it really put me by the wayside for a number of years.
It hurts me not to be able to communicate like I used to. I used to be pretty good at coming back, you know, quick one-liners.
Different vodkas have different effects. Some make you feel a little... poly-lingual. Some make you feel like you want to talk back to someone who's giving you a hard time. Some make you feel like lifting kettle bells.
I had a lot of trouble speaking as a kid. I didn't really speak in coherent sentences until I was, like, 6 years old. There was a long time where everybody was very worried, because my sisters were so advanced for their age, and I would barely talk.
I have a particular affliction. I am unable to say a word I can't spell.
As a writer, I have to admit, there is something darkly compelling about Alzheimer's because it attacks the two things most central to a writer's craft - language and memory, which together make up an individual's identity. Alzheimer's makes a new character out of a familiar person.
I can direct things but I can't write. My memory is going, so I struggle for words.
Autism is a severe neurodevelopmental disorder that is characterized by social withdrawal, by repetitive behaviors and by some kind of focal attention in its classic form. Basically, it's an inability to relate to others.
In the grip of a neurological disorder, I am fast losing control of words even as my relationship with the world has been reduced to them.
