Famous quotes containing the word language:

    “Language makes it possible for a child to incorporate his parents’ verbal prohibitions, to make them part of himself....We don’t speak of a conscience yet in the child who is just acquiring language, but we can see very clearly how language plays an indispensable role in the formation of conscience. In fact, the moral achievement of man, the whole complex of factors that go into the organization of conscience is very largely based upon language.”
    —Selma H. Fraiberg (20th century)

    “After all, when you come right down to it, how many people speak the same language even when they speak the same language?”
    —Russell Hoban (b. 1925)

    “Man acts as though he were the shaper and master of language, while in fact language remains the master of man.”
    —Martin Heidegger (1889–1976)
