Pan Language

Famous quotes containing the words pan and/or language:

    I can’t accept “our nervous age,” since mankind has been nervous during every age. Whoever fears nervousness should turn into a sturgeon or smelt; if a sturgeon makes a stupid mistake, it can only be one: to end up on a hook, and then in a pan in a pastry shell.
    Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

    Man acts as though he were the shaper and master of language, while in fact language remains the master of man.
    Martin Heidegger (1889–1976)
