Guaym%C3%AD Language/writing System and Pronunciation

Famous quotes containing the words language, writing and/or system:

    Just as language has no longer anything in common with the thing it names, so the movements of most of the people who live in cities have lost their connexion with the earth; they hang, as it were, in the air, hover in all directions, and find no place where they can settle.
    Rainer Maria Rilke (1875–1926)

    I am writing for myself and strangers. This is the only
    way that I can do it. Everybody is a real one to me,
    everybody is like some one else too to me. No one of
    them that I know can want to know it and so I write
    for myself and strangers.
    Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)

    Never expect any recognition here—the system prohibits it. The cross is not affixed to the genius, no, the genius is affixed to the cross.
    Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
