Famous quotes containing the words nationality and/or language:

    “If nationality is consent, the state is compulsion.”
    —Henri-Frédéric Amiel (1821–1881)

    “The reader uses his eyes as well as or instead of his ears and is in every way encouraged to take a more abstract view of the language he sees. The written or printed sentence lends itself to structural analysis as the spoken does not because the reader’s eye can play back and forth over the words, giving him time to divide the sentence into visually appreciated parts and to reflect on the grammatical function.”
    —J. David Bolter (b. 1951)
