I may speak many languages, but there remains one in which I live.
Maurice Merleau-Ponty

She was fluent in four languages and yet her fists against the rusted hood were the fullest articulation of her defeat.

Why the connection with musicians? I think it's because in the end we're doing very similar things - we're telling stories, we're using poetic, lyrical language, and we're distilling stories down into their simplest form. We're both telling a story in two languages - word and music for them and word and image for me.
Sally Lloyd-Jones

With languages, you can move from one social situation to another. With languages, you are at home anywhere.
Edmund de Waal
Image
To be a tourist is to escape accountability. Errors and failings don't cling to you the way they do back home. You're able to drift across continents and languages, suspending the operation of sound thought. Tourism is the march of stupidity.
Don DeLillo

Plurality of languages: [...] It is crucial 1. that there are many languages and that they differ not only in vocabulary, but also in grammar, and so in mode of thought and 2. that all languages are learnable.
Hannah Arendt

Sometimes I am a different character in different languages. I have different enjoyment from them. Sometimes different answers come out of me. Like, I didnt even know that about me. I get to know myself through different languages, actually.
Roger Federer

I tried to learn the languages - Italian, Spanish, and German - not to successfully. Working on a European set isn't a hell of a lot different from working on an American set.

I've long believed that having multiple official languages makes it very hard to sustain a united polity.
Kevin Drum
Image
He cared for languages dead long enough that they wouldn’t change on him.
Maggie Stiefvater
Image
I must confess the language of symbols is to me A Babylonish dialect Which learned chemists much affect It is a party-coloured dress Of patch'd and piebald languages: 'T is English cut on Greek and Latin, Like fustian heretofore on satin.
Sir Richard Phillips
Image
We only speak two languages here: English and profanity.
Kevin Constantine
Image
European languages must not be considered diamonds displayed under a glass ball, dazzling us with their brilliance.
Cheikh Anta Diop

I meet people overseas that know five languages - that the only language I'm comfortable in is English.
Bill Gates
Image
He who has two languages has two souls.
Quintus Ennius

I think they've got 250 languages in Nigeria, and so English is a sort of lingua franca between the 250 languages.
William Golding
Image
Most programming languages contain good parts and bad parts. I discovered that I could be better programmer by using only the good parts and avoiding the bad parts.
Douglas Crockford
Image
Languages are true analytical methods.
Antoine Lavoisier
Image
English is a second language in most of the educated sectors of Europe and much of the world. But maybe in the future Chinese will be. But I doubt that national languages will disappear. In fact, to some extent they're becoming more diverse, like in Europe.
Noam Chomsky
Image
Support for alternate languages will largely depend on the underlying OS.
Bill Hayden
