Famous quotes containing the words language, closely and/or related:
“A mind enclosed in language is in prison.”
—Simone Weil (1909–1943)
“But his kiss was so sweet, and so closely he pressed,
That I languished and pined till I granted the rest.”
—John Gay (1685–1732)
“The question of place and climate is most closely related to the question of nutrition. Nobody is free to live everywhere; and whoever has to solve great problems that challenge all his strength actually has a very restricted choice in this matter. The influence of climate on our metabolism, its retardation, its acceleration, goes so far that a mistaken choice of place and climate can not only estrange a man from his task but can actually keep it from him: he never gets to see it.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
