Famous quotes containing the word language:

    Language is a skin: I rub my language against the other. It is as if I had words instead of fingers, or fingers at the tip of my words. My language trembles with desire.
    Roland Barthes (1915–1980)

    So runs my dream: but what am I?
    An infant crying in the night;
    An infant crying for the light:
    And with no language but a cry.
    Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

    And what the dead had no speech for, when living,
    They can tell you, being dead: the communication
    Of the dead is tongued with fire beyond the language of the living.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
