Famous quotes containing the words english and/or words:

    When the English have scored a goal, they think nothing more remains to be done.
    José Bergamín (1895–1983)

    It is impossible to dissociate language from science or science from language, because every natural science always involves three things: the sequence of phenomena on which the science is based; the abstract concepts which call these phenomena to mind; and the words in which the concepts are expressed.

    Antoine Lavoisier (1743–1794)
