Famous quotes containing the word language:

    “I invented the colors of the vowels!—A black, E white, I red, O blue, U green—I made rules for the form and movement of each consonant, and, and with instinctive rhythms, I flattered myself that I had created a poetic language accessible, some day, to all the senses.”
    —Arthur Rimbaud (1854–1891)

    “When a language creates—as it does—a community within the present, it does so only by courtesy of a community between the present and the past.”
    —Christopher Ricks (b. 1933)
