Famous quotes containing the words language and/or words:
“Repeat thy song, till the familiar lines
Are footpaths for the thought of Italy!
Thy flame is blown abroad from all the heights,
Through all the nations, and a sound is heard,
As of a mighty wind, and men devout,
Strangers of Rome, and the new proselytes,
In their own language hear thy wondrous word,
And many are amazed and many doubt.”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)
“Alcohol is barren. The words a man speaks in the night of drunkenness fade like the darkness itself at the coming of day.”
—Marguerite Duras (b. 1914)
