Famous quotes containing the words english, language and/or version:

“Where dwells the religion? Tell me first where dwells electricity, or motion, or thought or gesture. They do not dwell or stay at all. Electricity cannot be made fast, mortared up and ended, like London Monument, or the Tower, so that you shall know where to find it, and keep it fixed, as the English do with their things, forevermore; it is passing, glancing, gesticular; it is a traveller, a newness, a surprise, a secret which perplexes them, and puts them out.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“This is an approach to that universal language which men have sought in vain.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Exercise is the yuppie version of bulimia.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
