Common Language

Famous quotes containing the words common and/or language:

    How shall we account for our pursuits, if they are original? We get the language with which to describe our various lives out of a common mint.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    It is still not enough for language to have clarity and content ... it must also have a goal and an imperative. Otherwise from language we descend to chatter, from chatter to babble and from babble to confusion.
    René Daumal (1908–1944)
