Famous quotes containing the words language and/or script:

    “Language is an archeological vehicle ... the language we speak is a whole palimpsest of human effort and history.”
    —Russell Hoban (b. 1925)

    “Genghis Khan, in his usual jodhpurs accessorized with whip, straddled a canvas chair and gloated upon the fairyland he had built. Journalists, photographers, secretaries, sycophants, script girls, and set dressers milled and stirred around him, activity ... irresistibly reminiscent of the movement of maggots upon rotting meat.”
    —Angela Carter (1940–1992)
