Famous quotes containing the word language:

    English general and singular terms, identity, quantification, and the whole bag of ontological tricks may be correlated with elements of the native language in any of various mutually incompatible ways, each compatible with all possible linguistic data, and none preferable to another save as favored by a rationalization of the native language that is simple and natural to us.
    Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)

    There’s a cool web of language winds us in,
    Retreat from too much joy or too much fear:
    We grow sea-green at last and coldly die
    In brininess and volubility.
    Robert Graves (1895–1985)

    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.
    Susan Griffin (b. 1943)
