Maya Written Language

Famous quotes containing the words written and/or language:

“In an ancient and dead language, any recognition of living nature attracts us. These are such sentences as were written while grass grew and water ran. It is no small recommendation when a book will stand the test of mere unobstructed sunshine and daylight.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Man acts as though he were the shaper and master of language, while in fact language remains the master of man.”
