Famous quotes containing the word language:

    “Just as language has no longer anything in common with the thing it names, so the movements of most of the people who live in cities have lost their connexion with the earth; they hang, as it were, in the air, hover in all directions, and find no place where they can settle.”
    —Rainer Maria Rilke (1875–1926)

    “There’s language in her eye, her cheek, her lip,
    Nay, her foot speaks; her wanton spirits look out
    At every joint and motive of her body.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Because language is the carrier of ideas, it is easy to believe that it should be very little else than such a carrier.”
    —Louise Bogan (1897–1970)
