Foreign Language School

Famous quotes containing the words foreign, language and/or school:

    If you don’t know foreign languages, you don’t know anything about your own.
    Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)

    It is not the language of painters but the language of nature which one should listen to.... The feeling for the things themselves, for reality, is more important than the feeling for pictures.
    Vincent Van Gogh (1853–1890)

    It is not that the Englishman can’t feel—it is that he is afraid to feel. He has been taught at his public school that feeling is bad form. He must not express great joy or sorrow, or even open his mouth too wide when he talks—his pipe might fall out if he did.
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)
