Human Language

Famous quotes containing the words human and/or language:

    No other human being, no woman, no poem or music, book or painting can replace alcohol in its power to give man the illusion of real creation.
    Marguerite Duras (b. 1914)

    “What may this mean? Language of Man pronounced
    By tongue of brute, and human sense expressed!
    The first at least of these I thought denied
    To beasts, whom God on their creation-day
    Created mute to all articulate sound;
    The latter I demur, for in their looks
    Much reason, and in their actions, oft appears.
    John Milton (1608–1674)
