Famous quotes containing the words language and/or script:

    “The etymologist finds the deadest word to have been once a brilliant picture. Language is fossil poetry. As the limestone of the continent consists of infinite masses of the shells of animalcules, so language is made up of images or tropes, which now, in their secondary use, have long ceased to remind us of their poetic origin.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Take what the old-church
    found in Mithra’s tomb,
    candle and script and bell,
    take what the new-church spat upon
    and broke and shattered.”
    —Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
