Words are the building blocks of thoughts.

Ain't that the truth! I also like this one: Words are thought capsules.

Both of these point up the goal of this insane "whole-word recognition" scheme that's become so popular. Such a scheme places bounds not only on our ability to think, but also on our exposure to thoughts expressed by others in words not included in our "recognition list".
