Famous quotes containing the words language and/or proper:
“Language is filled
with words for deprivation
images so familiar
it is hard to crack language open
into that other country
the country of being.”

“There is a Restlessness springing from the consciousness of power not fully utilized, which must be present wherever there is unused power of whatever kind. This is the restlessness of the germ within the seed, struggling upward and downward towards its proper life. ... it is a striving full of pain, the cutting of tender flesh by the fetters of the captive as he struggles against their pitilessness.”
—Anna C. Brackett (1836–1911)
