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)
