Famous quotes containing the word language:

    “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)

    “Jargon: any technical language we do not understand.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    “The language I have learnt these forty years,
    My native English, now I must forgo,
    And now my tongue’s use is to me no more
    Than an unstringèd viol or a harp.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
