"The stars had only one task: they taught me how to read. They taught me I had a language in heaven and another language on earth."
Quote by -Mahmoud Darwish
"I am from there. I am from here. I am not there and I am not here. I have two names, which meet and part, and I have two languages. I forget which of them I dream in."
Quote by -Mahmoud Darwish
A language is an exact reflection of the character and growth of its speakers.
Quote by -Mahatama Gandhi
The Greeks bequeathed to us one of the most beautiful words in our language--the word 'enthusiasm'--en theos--a god within. The grandeur of human actions is measured by the inspiration from which they spring. Happy is he who bears a god within, and who obeys it.
Quote by -Louis Pasteur
"To handle a language skillfully is to practice a kind of evocative sorcery."
Quote by -Charles Baudelaire
"The secret of language is the secret of sympathy and its full charm is possible only to the gentle."
Quote by -John Ruskin
"Your purpose is to make your audience see what you saw, hear what you heard, feel what you felt. Relevant detail, couched in concrete, colorful language, is the best way to recreate the incident as it happened and to picture it for the audience."
Quote by -Dale Carnegie
“No, my countrymen, shut your ears against this unhallowed language. Shut your hearts against the poison which it conveys; the kindred blood which flows in the veins of American citizens, the mingled blood which they have shed in defense of their sacred rights, consecrate their Union, and excite horror at the idea of their becoming aliens, rivals, enemies. And if novelties are to be shunned, believe me, the most alarming of all novelties, the most wild of all projects, the most rash of all attempts, is that of rendering us in pieces, in order to preserve our liberties and promote our happiness.”
Quote by -Alexander Hamilton
“The language in which thought is embodied is the mere carcass of the thought, and not the idea itself; tribunals may condemn the form, but the sense and spirit of the work is too subtle for their authority.”
Quote by -Alexis de Tocqueville
“He seems to have declared war on the King’s English as well as on the English king.”
Quote by -Arthur Conan Doyle
“A fine thought in fine language is a most precious jewel, and should not be hid away, but be exposed for use and ornament.”
Quote by -Arthur Conan Doyle
It is the task of the translator to release in his own language that pure language that is under the spell of another, to liberate the language imprisoned in a work in his re-creation of that work.
Quote by -Walter Benjamin
True translation is transparent: it does not obscure the original, does not stand in its light, but rather allows pure language, as if strengthened by its own medium, to shine even more fully on the original.
Quote by -Walter Benjamin
It is impossible to prefigure the salvation of the world in the same language by which the world has been dismembered and defaced.
Quote by -Wendell Berry
I might be more fluent in Swedish than I am in Spanish. My wife speaks it to our kids, and they're fluent so I hear it all the time, so I've got that under my belt.
Quote by -Will Ferrell
I speak as much Spanish as anyone who has grown up in Southern California or Texas or Arizona. I had my three years of high-school Spanish and a couple of semesters in college.
Quote by -Will Ferrell
Language was like clothes; it could be a help to one, or it could give one away. But the most important thing was that one should not pretend to be what one was not.
Quote by -Willa Cather
Some very considerable part of the gestural language of public places that had once belonged to cigarettes now belonged to phones.
Quote by -William Gibson
Zona spat a stream of Spanish that overwhelmed translation, a long and liquid curse.
Quote by -William Gibson
Bevor man bei Sich eine Depression oder geringes Selbstwertgef�hl diagnostiziert... sollte man sicher gehen, dass man nicht nur von Arschl�chern umgeben ist.
Quote by -William Gibson
Lumea e o oglinda care ofera inapoi fiecaruia reflectia propriului chip. Daca te incrunti se incrunta si ea inapoi spre tine, daca razi devine si ea o companie vesela si placuta
Quote by -William Makepeace
We must stop using the language of force and return to the path of civilized diplomatic and political settlement.
Quote by -Vladimir Putin
I do not use the language of my people. I can take liberties with certain themes which the Arabic language would not allow me to take.
Quote by -Tahar Ben Jelloun
I am a guest of the French language. My poems in French are born of my interaction with the French language, which is not the same as that of a French poet.
Quote by -Tahar Ben Jelloun
Čudno je to. Kad čoveka obuzme neka misao, onda je nalazi svuda, čak je i miriše u vetru.
Quote by -Thomas Mann
It seems to me that if there were any logic to our language, trust would be a four letter word.
Quote by -Tom Cruise
We are tied down to a language which makes up in obscurity what it lacks in style.
Quote by -Tom Stoppard
I'm interested in language. We used to call it the War Office. Then it became the Ministry of Defence. We used to talk about the hydrogen bomb, now we talk about a deterrent. And the language is very cleverly constructed to give the impression that it's not what it is.
Quote by -Tony Benn
Om man �r arg s� �r man arg, konstaterade lilla My och skalade sin potatis med t�nderna. Man ska vara arg ibland, vartenda knytt har r�tt att vara ilsket.
Quote by -Tove Jansson
Hvis man pr�ver av alle krefter, til det ytterste, m� det ikke v�re hensikten som teller mest, teller mer enn hvordan det til slutt gikk?
Quote by -Tove Jansson
Akkurat n� tenker jeg p� nordlys. Man vet ikke om det finnes eller bare synes. Alt er meget usikkert, og det er nettopp det som beroliger meg.
Quote by -Tove Jansson
Fly! ropade muminmamman. Polisen �r h�r! Hon visste inte vad hennes mumintroll hade gjort men var alldeles s�ker p� att hon gillade det.
Quote by -Tove Jansson
Mats har ingen hemmeligheter. Det er derfor han er s� hemmelighetsfull. Ingen m� forstyrre ham, han m� f� v�re uforstyrret i en forenklet og ren verden.
Quote by -Tove Jansson
