Famous quotes containing the word language:

    “The face of the water, in time, became a wonderful book—a book that was a dead language to the uneducated passenger, but which told its mind to me without reserve, delivering its most cherished secrets as clearly as if it uttered them with a voice. And it was not a book to be read once and thrown aside, for it had a new story to tell every day.”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    “Consensus is usually made possible by vague language and shallow commitments.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    “Great literature is simply language charged with meaning to the utmost possible degree.”
    —Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
