In common with all other manifestations, words exist in dependence on causes and conditions. And since these causes and conditions undergo perpetual change, words, too, are subject to constant change. So they are void of any continuous entity--what remains of them is like the light of a star that has died long ago.
---Soko Morinaga Roshi, in his commentary on The Ceasing of Notions---
