Isn’t the most sensitive point of this mourning the fact that I must lose a language — the amorous language? No more ‘I love you’s.
Roland Barthes
Image
English grammar is so complex and confusing for the one very simple reason that its rules and terminology are based on Latin, a language with which it has precious little in common.
Bill Bryson
Image
I can't imagine my world without music. It's the universal language what I make comes from my heart. What I listen to from others stirs it.
David Guetta
Image
Let us have but one end in view, the welfare of humanity and let us put aside all selfishness in consideration of language, nationality, or religion.
John Amos Comenius
Image
We seldom realize, for example that our most private thoughts and emotions are not actually our own. For we think in terms of languages and images which we did not invent, but which were given to us by our society.
Alan Watts
Image
To speak of atrocious crime in mild language is treason to virtue.
Edmund Burke
Image
There's something to be said about all music being some translation of our languaging, our way of communicating. It's a language. This is a new language.
Suzanne Ciani
Image
The love in his eyes was so powerful, I needed to look away. Seth had an amazing grasp of the English language, but there were days when that skill was nothing compared to what he told me in his looks.
Richelle Mead
Image
Sometimes you get a glimpse of a semicolon coming, a few lines farther on, and it is like climbing a steep path through woods and seeing a wooden bench just at a bend in the road ahead, a place where you can expect to sit for a moment, catching your breath.
Lewis Thomas
Image
Russian is such a tough and complex language that I am happy enough to understand everything and read most things pretty well, but, without constant practice, my speech is not what I wish it was, and I would sooner write in crayon than write a letter in Russian.
David Remnick
Image
The problem of far greater importance remains to be solved. Rather than build a world in which we shall all live well, we must stop building one in which it will be impossible to live at all.
B. F. Skinner
Image
With the computer and programming languages, mathematics has newly-acquired tools, and its notation should be reviewed in the light of them. The computer may, in effect, be used as a patient, precise, and knowledgeable native speaker of mathematical notation.
Kenneth E. Iverson
Image
Texting has added a new dimension to language use, but its long-term impact is negligible. It is not a disaster.
David Crystal
Image
Finality is not the language of politics.
Benjamin Disraeli
Image
The language of politics is poetry, not prose. Jackson is poetry. Cuomo is poetry. Dukakis is a word processor.
Richard M. Nixon
Image
Prayers for the condemned man will be offered on an adding machine. Numbers constitute the only universal language.
Nathanael West
Image
I remember reading once that some fellows use language to conceal thought but it's been my experience that a good many more use it instead of thought.
George Horace Lorimer
Image
There are no language barriers when you are smiling.
Allen Klein
Image
I’d thought I knew what beauty was in women but she’d surpassed all the language I had for it.
Anne Rice
Image
Love will heal What language fails to know
Eavan Boland
Image
Language was invented because of the deep human need to complain.
Lily Tomlin
Image
People are tempted to politicize the fact that I paint black figures, and the complexity of this is an essential part of the work. But my starting point is always the language of painting itself and how that relates to the subject matter.
Lynette Yiadom-Boakye
Image
Music expresses feeling and thought, without language it was below and before speech, and it is above and beyond all words.
Robert Green Ingersoll
Image
I'm a professor of media studies as well as humanities, and I'm an evangelist of popular culture, but when there's only media, then there's going to be a slow debasement of language, and that's what I think we're fighting.
