Famous quotes containing the words languages and/or russia:

    “It is time for dead languages to be quiet.”
    —Natalie Clifford Barney (1876–1972)

    “In Russia there is an emigration of intelligence: émigrés cross the frontier in order to read and to write good books. But in doing so they contribute to making their fatherland, abandoned by spirit, into the gaping jaws of Asia that would like to swallow our little Europe.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
