Gene Wolfe- The Citadel of the Autarch:
   "The people of Ascia were reduced to speaking only with their masters' voice; but they had made of it a new tongue, and I had no doubt, after hearing the Ascian, that by it he could express whatever thought he wished." --part of a very beautiful allegorical miniature about a nation that speaks only in quotations (e.g. Chairman Mao [though if you read translated Chinese poetry from the mid-20c you will just think it rendered them mute about anything deep])--but what I thought of was something different than the human drive to communicate.
