“Sometimes we don’t need words,” the old man said, as if he hadn’t heard me. “Rather, it’s words that need us. If we were no longer here, words would lose their whole function. Don’t you think so? They would end up as words that are never spoken, and words that aren’t spoken are no longer words.”

- "Where I'm Likely to Find It", Haruki Murakami

I assumed that you mean the royal "we", of course (bowing to his princess... :)
