Common Language

Famous quotes containing the words common and/or language:

    At the next town
    the local princess was having a contest.

    Fifty men had perished,
    gargling the sea like soup.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    He never doubts his genius; it is only he and his God in all the world. He uses language sometimes as greatly as Shakespeare; and though there is not much straight grain in him, there is plenty of tough, crooked timber.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
