Famous quotes containing the word language:

    Like the train’s beat
    Swift language flutters the lips
    Of the Polish airgirl in the corner seat.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    ... language is meaningful because it is the expression of thoughts—of thoughts which are about something.
    Roderick M. Chisholm (b. 1916)

    Which I wish to remark—
    And my language is plain—
    That for ways that are dark
    And for tricks that are vain,
    The heathen Chinee is peculiar:
    Which the same I would rise to explain.
    Bret Harte (1836–1902)
