Carrier Sense

Famous quotes containing the words carrier and/or sense:

“The problems of society will also be the problems of the predominant language of that society. It is the carrier of its perceptions, its attitudes, and its goals, for through it, the speakers absorb entrenched attitudes. The guilt of English then must be recognized and appreciated before its continued use can be advocated.”
—Njabulo Ndebele (b. 1948)

“The sense of the serpent in younanke,
And your averted stride
Add nothing to the horror the frost
That glistens on your face and hair.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
