Famous quotes containing the words breton and/or language:
“In the world we live in ... everything militates in favor of things that have not yet happened, of things that will never happen again.”
—André Breton (1896–1966)
“The problems of society will also be the problems of the predominant language of that society. It is the carrier of its perceptions, its attitudes, and its goals, for through it, the speakers absorb entrenched attitudes. The guilt of English then must be recognized and appreciated before its continued use can be advocated.”
—Njabulo Ndebele (b. 1948)
