Famous quotes containing the words language and/or closely:
“Surrealism is not a school of poetry but a movement of liberation.... A way of rediscovering the language of innocence, a renewal of the primordial pact, poetry is the basic text, the foundation of the human order. Surrealism is revolutionary because it is a return to the beginning of all beginnings.”
—Octavio Paz (b. 1914)
“Our failings sometimes bind us to one another as closely as could virtue itself.”
—Luc, Marquis de Vauvenargues (1715–1747)
