Famous quotes containing the word language:

    He never doubts his genius; it is only he and his God in all the world. He uses language sometimes as greatly as Shakespeare; and though there is not much straight grain in him, there is plenty of tough, crooked timber.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Jargon: any technical language we do not understand.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    The “sayings” of a community, its proverbs, are its characteristic comment upon life; they imply its history, suggest its attitude toward the world and its way of accepting life. Such an idiom makes the finest language any writer can have; and he can never get it with a notebook. He himself must be able to think and feel in that speech—it is a gift from heart to heart.
    Willa Cather (1873–1947)
