Maya Written Language

Famous quotes containing the words written and/or language:

“There is no doubt that the loftiest written wisdom is either rhymed or in some way musically measured,—is, in form as well as substance, poetry; and a volume which should contain the condensed wisdom of mankind need not have one rhythmless line.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“After all, when you come right down to it, how many people speak the same language even when they speak the same language?”
