Agree or disagree ?

Here's a quote from ''Enduring love'' by Ian McEwan:



It's the first underlined sentance.

i was just curious as to wether you lot think the same ( that you need language in order to think) or you disagree with it ( that you can think without language)

It's just as easy to come up with points against it though.
