Famous quotes containing the words human and/or language:
“... one thing that distinguishes a frontier is the precarious nature of the human hold on it.”
—Kathleen Norris (b. 1947)
“What may this mean? Language of Man pronounced
By tongue of brute, and human sense expressed!
The first at least of these I thought denied
To beasts, whom God on their creation-day
Created mute to all articulate sound;
The latter I demur, for in their looks
Much reason, and in their actions, oft appears.”
—John Milton (16081674)
