Language Form

Famous quotes containing the words language and/or form:

    “The world does not speak. Only we do. The world can, once we have programmed ourselves with a language, cause us to hold beliefs. But it cannot propose a language for us to speak. Only other human beings can do that.”
    —Richard Rorty (b. 1931)

    “Others form man; I tell of him, and portray a particular one, very ill-formed, whom I should really make very different from what he is if I had to fashion him over again. But now it is done.”
    —Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
