Famous quotes containing the word language:

    “As in private life one differentiates between what a man thinks and says of himself and what he really is and does, so in historical struggles one must still more distinguish the language and the imaginary aspirations of parties from their real organism and their real interests, their conception of themselves from their reality.”
    —Karl Marx (1818–1883)

    “A language does not become fixed. The human intellect is always on the march, or, if you prefer, in movement, and languages with it.”
    —Victor Hugo (1802–1885)

    “Our language has wisely sensed these two sides of man’s being alone. It has created the word “loneliness” to express the pain of being alone. And it has created the word “solitude” to express the glory of being alone. Although, in daily life, we do not always distinguish these words, we should do so consistently and thus deepen our understanding of our human predicament.”
    —Paul Tillich (1886–1965)
