Languages are the keys of science.
Jean de la Bruyere
Image
Languages are something of a mess. They evolve over centuries through an unplanned, democratic process that leaves them teeming with irregularities, quirks, and words like 'knight.'
Joshua Foer
Image
Languages that try to disallow idiocy become themselves idiotic.
Rob Pike
Image
Languages differ essentially in what they must convey and not in what they may convey.
Roman Jakobson
Image
Languages are the pedigree of nations.
Samuel Johnson
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
Languages are no more than the keys of Sciences. He who despises one, slights the other.
Jean de la Bruyere
Image
Languages are dying at an unprecedented rate. A language dies every 14 days.
Patricia Ryan
Image
Languages are jealous sovereigns, and passports are rarely allowed for travellers to cross their strictly guarded borders.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
Languages are true analytical methods.
Antoine Lavoisier
Image
Languages, like our bodies, are in a perpetual flux, and stand in need of recruits to supply those words that are continually falling, through disuse.
Tom Felton
Image
I've become obsessed with learning other languages in movies, because I was like, since I was like, but I learned how to box so why don't I just learn another language for a movie?
Jake Gyllenhaal
Image
Even before I started photography, I began to see that there was a disjunction between available languages and reality.
Gilles Peress
Image
Modern women are just bombarded. There's nothing but media telling us we're all supposed to be great cooks, have great style, be great in bed, be the best mothers, speak seven languages, and be able to understand derivatives. And we don't really have women we're modeling after, so we're all looking for how to do this.
Jamie Lee Curtis
Image
The old languages - at least the ones I know - don't have gender. They don't have gendered pronouns. There's no he and she. A human being is a human being.
Gloria Steinem
Image
We must teach the next generation to not just learn languages, but whole cultures and belief systems. We will then make more of an effort to understand people and their different cultures.
Jane Seymour
Image
The world rarely shrieks its meaning at you. It whispers, in private languages and obscure modalities, in arcane and quixotic imagery, through symbol systems in which every element has multiple meanings determined by juxtaposition.
Gregory Maguire
Image
Different languages cut the world into different slices.
Jean Berko Gleason
Image
I've always had an ear for languages and music so it's something I'm continually working on but it's fun.
Gugu Mbatha-Raw
Image
Now, it's my belief that Python is a lot easier than to teach to students programming and teach them C or C++ or Java at the same time because all the details of the languages are so much harder. Other scripting languages really don't work very well there either.
Guido van Rossum
Image
[On The Philippines:] ... eighty dialects and languages are spoken we are a fragmented nation of loyal believers, divided by blood feuds and controlled by the Church.
Jessica Hagedorn
Image
I never thought of that one, that linguistics could be driving cultural things. There are some thoughts that that does happen in humans, that languages have different characteristics and that influences in some ways how different groups behave, and I suppose it might in whales.
Hal Whitehead
Image
For economic safety for the future, you must have multiple skills and languages. Success is basically being the best that you can be.
Jim Rohn
Image
He was dancing to some music No one else had ever heard He'd speak in unknown languages She would translate every word And then when the world was laughing At his castles in the sky She'd hold him in her body Till he once again could fly.
Harry Chapin
