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)
