Famous quotes containing the words oral and/or languages:
“We have seen over and over that white male historians in general have tended to dismiss any history they didn’t themselves write, on the grounds that it is unserious, unscholarly, a fad, too “political,” “merely” oral and thus unreliable.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“It is time for dead languages to be quiet.”
—Natalie Clifford Barney (1876–1972)
