"seriously though", she thought, "how could one go on and on with words! words are limited isnt it? oh, may be he would invent more of them.. but there are only 26 characters..... she had learnt in school that the maximum number of words possible is 26!....
what will he do after that?? hmm.... may be he'll create more characters...
how would he create them?? assign new shapes, may be....
what shape would they be?? wouldnt he run out of shapes??"
she had heard shapes can be random and hence infinite in number...
"may be", she thought, "thats what he meant when he said he could go on and on...."
the young teenager wondered lying on the riverbed, "if he went on creating new words and characters and shapes, he could certainly go on, but how would anybody else understand? or is it only sufficient if one puts across his thoughts without caring about whether others understand them or not?? then", she wondered, "why even try and tell it out?".........

Made me think a bit.
He wouldn't probably need new shapes to make new words. He wouldn't probably need new words to go on and on. He would attach new meanings to old words and make new realities every time . He could even say those words differently!
All that said, the question on whether anyone else would understand what he thinks still remains. There are times when one feels that the experience is complete when it's shared. A thought being fulfilling when it's expressed clearly and is understood by someone else. But then the joy of expression is also for oneself. I would still go on and on even if it's only me that's listening :)
That being said, did this comment exceed the length of your post ? :P
P.S: Take the word verification thingy off :|
