Human Language

Famous quotes containing the words human and/or language:

“O accursed hunger of gold, to what dost thou not compel human hearts!”
—Virgil [Publius Vergilius Maro] (70–19 B.C.)

“The great pines stand at a considerable distance from each other. Each tree grows alone, murmurs alone, thinks alone. They do not intrude upon each other. The Navajos are not much in the habit of giving or of asking help. Their language is not a communicative one, and they never attempt an interchange of personality in speech. Over their forests there is the same inexorable reserve. Each tree has its exalted power to bear.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
