Huns/language

Famous quotes containing the words huns and/or language:

“Frogs are slightly better than Huns or Wops, but abroad is unutterably bloody and foreigners are fiends.”

““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)
