Famous quotes containing the word language:

    “Nothing so fretful, so despicable as a Scribbler, see what I am, & what a parcel of Scoundrels I have brought about my ears, & what language I have been obliged to treat them with to deal with them in their own way;Mall this comes of Authorship.”
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
