Human Language

Famous quotes containing the words human and/or language:

“Only ambition is fired by the coincidences of success and easy accomplishment but nothing is quite as splendidly uplifting to the heart as the defeat of a human being who battles against the invincible superiority of fate. This is always the most grandiose of all tragedies, one sometimes created by a dramatist but created thousands of times by life.”
—Stefan Zweig (18811942)

“Language is an archeological vehicle ... the language we speak is a whole palimpsest of human effort and history.”
