Human Language

Famous quotes containing the words human and/or language:

“The hardest thing to do is to write straight honest prose on human beings. First you have to know the subject; then you have to know how to write. Both take a lifetime to learn, and anybody is cheating who takes politics as a way out. All the outs are too easy, and the thing itself is too hard to do.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)

“A mind enclosed in language is in prison.”
—Simone Weil (1909–1943)
