Huns/language

Famous quotes containing the words huns and/or language:

    Frogs are slightly better than Huns or Wops, but abroad is unutterably bloody and foreigners are fiends.
    Nancy Mitford (1904–1973)

    My God! The English language is a form of communication! Conversation isn’t just crossfire where you shoot and get shot at! Where you’ve got to duck for your life and aim to kill! Words aren’t only bombs and bullets—no, they’re little gifts, containing meanings!
    Philip Roth (b. 1933)
