Maya Written Language

Famous quotes containing the words written and/or language:

“The written word still enjoyed a certain prestige here. It was a sluggish country.”
—William Gibson (b. 1948)

““What may this mean? Language of Man pronounced
By tongue of brute, and human sense expressed!
The first at least of these I thought denied
To beasts, whom God on their creation-day
Created mute to all articulate sound;
The latter I demur, for in their looks
Much reason, and in their actions, oft appears.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
