Famous quotes containing the words description and/or language:

    “An intentional object is given by a word or a phrase which gives a description under which.”
    —Gertrude Elizabeth Margaret Anscombe (b. 1919)

    “Repeat thy song, till the familiar lines
    Are footpaths for the thought of Italy!
    Thy flame is blown abroad from all the heights,
    Through all the nations, and a sound is heard,
    As of a mighty wind, and men devout,
    Strangers of Rome, and the new proselytes,
    In their own language hear thy wondrous word,
    And many are amazed and many doubt.”
    —Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)
