Famous quotes containing the words language and/or board:

    “The necessity of poetry has to be stated over and over, but only to those who have reason to fear its power, or those who still believe that language is “only words” and that an old language is good enough for our descriptions of the world we are trying to transform.”
    —Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

    “She hears me strike the board and say
    That she is under ban
    Of all good men and women,
    Being mentioned with a man
    That has the worst of all bad names.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
