Famous quotes containing the word language:

    “There’s language in her eye, her cheek, her lip,
    Nay, her foot speaks; her wanton spirits look out
    At every joint and motive of her body.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “the language obscene

    An engine, an engine
    Chuffing me off like a Jew.”
    —Sylvia Plath (1932–1963)

    “The great pines stand at a considerable distance from each other. Each tree grows alone, murmurs alone, thinks alone. They do not intrude upon each other. The Navajos are not much in the habit of giving or of asking help. Their language is not a communicative one, and they never attempt an interchange of personality in speech. Over their forests there is the same inexorable reserve. Each tree has its exalted power to bear.”
    —Willa Cather (1873–1947)
