Painting is an essentially concrete art and can only consist of the representation of real and existing things. It is a completely physical language, the words of which consist of all visible objects. An object which is abstract, not visible, non-existent, is not within the realm of painting.
Gustave Courbet
Image
Computers are everywhere and you can't even begin to function with a computer unless you have comprehension and an understanding of the English language.
Wally Amos
Image
Remember that although they may speak a different language, they are still the same kind of people as the folks you know at home, have the same mental processes, are just as kindly and just as friendly. Remember that, quit talking and start over again - in pantomime.

Of all of our inventions for mass communication, pictures still speak the most universally understood language.
Walt Disney

Animation is different from other parts. Its language is the language of caricature.
Walt Disney

Learning Indian mannerisms, how to wear saris, and the language were a challenge.
Amy Jackson
Image
Viewed freely, the English language is the accretion and growth of every dialect, race, and range of time, and is both the free and compacted composition of all.
Walt Whitman
Image
Do you know what a foreign accent is? It's a sign of bravery.
Amy Chua

The advantage of the gypsy language, even though I don't understand it that much, the language is perfect melody. So if you propose the movie the way I do, then the language is just one part of the melody. Orchestrating all inside, and the language is following the meaning of what they say, and it's never the same as written.
Emir Kusturica
Image
Having come to live in this age is as though one were to have entered another country. Learn its language or risk being left out.
Theodore Bikel
Image
The truest and greatest Poetry, (while subtly and necessarily always rhythmic, and distinguishable easily enough) can never again, in the English language, be express'd in arbitrary and rhyming metre, any more than the greatest eloquence, or the truest power and passion.
Walt Whitman
Image
Literature belongs first and foremost to the language in which it is being written. The very same book, even if it is translated very accurately, let's say from Hebrew into English or from English into Hebrew, becomes a different book because language is a musical instrument.
Amos Oz

Literature belongs first and foremost to the language in which it is being written.
Amos Oz
Image
Of course, we carry inside of ourselves our parents. Even when they are dead, we carry them inside ourselves. And they are carrying inside themselves their dead parents and so on and so forth. There is a legacy of language and culture and religion.
Amos Oz
Image
The language of truth is unadorned and always simple.
Ammianus Marcellinus
Image
Science is a matter of adjusting language to explain material reality. Art is a matter of adjusting material reality to create a sense of life.
Walter Darby Bannard
Image
A major difficulty in translation is that a word in one language seldom has a precise equivalent in another one.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Image
What makes me myself rather than anyone else is the very fact that I am poised between two countries, two or three languages, and several cultural traditions. It is precisely this that defines my identity. Would I exist more authentically if I cut off a part of myself
Amin Maalouf

Antonio Bolivar Salvador has an incredible story because he's one of the last Ocaina people left. The Ocaina people are - and the Ocaina language is basically about to disappear in this generation. You know, there are very few people that speak it. And he's one of them.
Ciro Guerra
Image
Artists are perennially implored to consider 'the limitations of the medium.' Whoever invented this expression exaggerated the limitations of the English language. We are not concerned with what effects cannot be produced with our materials.
Walter J. Phillips
Image
Given Loughner's obsession with meaninglessness and language, maybe Foucault & Derrida deserve some fault here, too.
Walter Kirn
Image
Language expresses people's thinking and it was by a Word that God created the world and preserves it.
Walter Lang
Image
For every man there is something in the vocabulary that would stick to him like a second skin. His enemies have only to find it.
Ambrose Bierce
Image
Men command fewer words than they have ideas to express, and language, as Jean Paul said, is a dictionary of faded metaphors.
