God Language

Famous quotes containing the words god and/or language:

“Strange!—that we should only begin to think of GOD with comfort,—when with joy and comfort we can think of nothing else.”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)

“The “sayings” of a community, its proverbs, are its characteristic comment upon life; they imply its history, suggest its attitude toward the world and its way of accepting life. Such an idiom makes the finest language any writer can have; and he can never get it with a notebook. He himself must be able to think and feel in that speech—it is a gift from heart to heart.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
