Famous quotes containing the word language:

    “A language does not become fixed. The human intellect is always on the march, or, if you prefer, in movement, and languages with it.”
    —Victor Hugo (1802–1885)

    “But as some silly young men returning from France affect a broken English, to be thought perfect in the French language; so his Lordship, I think, to seem a perfect understander of the unintelligible language of the Schoolmen, pretends an ignorance of his mother-tongue. He talks here of command and counsel as if he were no Englishman, nor knew any difference between their significations.”
    —Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)

    “the language obscene

    An engine, an engine
    Chuffing me off like a Jew.”
    —Sylvia Plath (1932–1963)
