Famous quotes containing the words breton and/or language:
“It is living and ceasing to live that are imaginary solutions. Existence is elsewhere.”
—André Breton (1896–1966)
“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)
