Famous quotes containing the words human and/or language:

“‘Tis happy, therefore, that nature breaks the force of all sceptical arguments in time, and keeps them from having any considerable influence on the understanding.

—David Hume (1711–1776)

“He had not failed to observe how harmoniously gigantic language and a microscopic topic go together.”
