Famous quotes containing the words human and/or language:
“A human being is only breath and shadow.”
—Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)
““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.”
