Famous quotes containing the word language:

    “The language of the younger generation ... has the brutality of the city and an assertion of threatening power at hand, not to come. It is military, theatrical, and at its most coherent probably a lasting repudiation of empty courtesy and bureaucratic euphemism.”
    —Elizabeth Hardwick (b. 1916)

    “The language of excitement is at best picturesque merely. You must be calm before you can utter oracles.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “After all, when you come right down to it, how many people speak the same language even when they speak the same language?”
    —Russell Hoban (b. 1925)
