Language Services Act

Famous quotes containing the words language, services and/or act:

“The face of the water, in time, became a wonderful book—a book that was a dead language to the uneducated passenger, but which told its mind to me without reserve, delivering its most cherished secrets as clearly as if it uttered them with a voice. And it was not a book to be read once and thrown aside, for it had a new story to tell every day.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

“Those services which the community will most readily pay for, it is most disagreeable to render.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Each act of criticism is general
But, in cutting itself off from all the others,
Explicit enough.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
