Famous quotes containing the word language:

    There’s a cool web of language winds us in,
    Retreat from too much joy or too much fear.

    There’s a cool web of language winds us in,
    Retreat from too much joy or too much fear:

    In brininess and volubility.
    Robert Graves (1895–1985)
