Gender/language

Famous quotes containing the words gender and/or language:

    “But there, where I have garnered up my heart,
    Where either I must live or bear no life;
    The fountain from the which my current runs
    Or else dries up: to be discarded thence,
    Or keep it as a cistern for foul toads
    To knot and gender in!”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Because language is the carrier of ideas, it is easy to believe that it should be very little else than such a carrier.”
    —Louise Bogan (1897–1970)
