"So, not for lack of love of language, but because I feel our language is in an enormous state of humiliation, I decided to make films without words"

Godfrey Reggio's quote speaks with the idea that language remains in a state of decline. He thinks that language has been broken down and is no longer able to sufficiently reveal the ideas and feelings that he wants to convey. As an outcome, he has actually picked to make films without words in order to communicate his concepts and feelings. He does not do this out of a lack of love for language, but rather out of a desire to express himself in such a way that language can not. By making movies without words, Reggio has the ability to interact his concepts and feelings in a manner that language can not. He has the ability to produce a graph of his ideas and sensations that is more effective than words. In this way, he has the ability to express himself in such a way that language can not.
