A picture may be worth a thousand words when the information you want to convey is visual. But that's not the case the overwhelming majority of the time.
Imagine having this discussion (or the comment thread as a whole) using exclusively pictures, for example... at least you can describe an image with words (even if the result is very lossy), most of the time it's not even possible to describe a text with images.
In my view, language is infinitely more versatile and powerful than images, and hence harder to learn.
