Language, if it throws a veil over our ideas, adds a softness and refinement to them, like that which the atmosphere gives to naked objects.
William Hazlitt
Image
Language is a living thing. It must survive in men's minds and on their tongues if it survives at all.
Charlton Laird
Image
Language should fulfill your individual existence as a wholesome human being... Language should be more than just getting by.
Chogyam Trungpa
Image
Languages happily restrict the mind to what is of its own native growth and fitted for it, as rivers and mountains bond countries or the empire of learning, as well as states, would become unwieldy and overgrown.
William Hazlitt
Image
Language is an art, like brewing or baking.... It certainly is not a true instinct, for every language has to be learnt.
Charles Darwin
Image
Language and words for psychopaths are only word deep there is no emotional colouring behind it. A psychopath can use a word like, ‘I love you’ but it means nothing more to him than if he said, ‘I’ll have a cup of coffee.
Robert D. Hare
Image
Language is the road map of a culture. It tells you where its people come from and where they are going.
Rita Mae Brown
Image
Language allows you to implant a thought from your mind directly into someone else's mind, and they can attempt to do the same to you, without either of you having to perform surgery.
Mark Pagel
Image
Language is a spiritual mansion in which you live and nobody has the right to evict you.
Saul Bellow
Image
Language, the machine of the poet, is best fitted for his purpose in its rudest state. Nations, like individuals, first perceive, and then abstract. They advance from particular images to general terms. Hence the vocabulary of an enlightened society is philosophical, that of a half-civilized people is poetical.
Thomas B. Macaulay
Image
Language is the machine of the poet.
Thomas B. Macaulay
Image
Language, identity and forms of life are the terms in which political demands are shaped and voiced.
Terry Eagleton
Image
Language is what books do very well and movement is what movies does very well.
Chuck Palahniuk
Image
Language does not stand still. Surprisingly, despite this knowledge, most speakers are fearful of change.
Peter Farb
Image
Language is the soul of intellect, and reading is the essential process by which that intellect is cultivated beyond the commonplace experiences of everyday life.
Charles Scribner IV
Image
Language is to the mind more than light is to the eye.
William Gibson
Image
Language is butchered by the media
Don Watson
Image
Language is of divine origin.. Some may know this but do not realize its implications in their daily family life. Love at home starts with loving language.
Charles A. Didier
Image
Language in art remains a highly ambiguous transaction, a quicksand, a trampoline, a frozen pool which might give way under you ... at any time.
Harold Pinter
Image
Language designed to impress builds a gulf. Language to express builds a bridge.
Jim Rohn
Image
Language that tells us, through a more or less emotional reaction, something that can not be said.
Edwin Arlington Robinson
Image
Language is political. That's why you and me, my Brother and Sister, that's why we supposed to choke our natural self into the weird, lying, barbarous, unreal, white speech and writing habits that the schools lay down like holy law.
June Jordan
Image
Language shapes consciousness and from consciousness, our world is shaped.
Antonella Gambotto-Burke
Image
Language helps develp life as surely as it reflects life. It is a most important part of our human condition.
