Famous quotes containing the words language and/or area:

    Man acts as though he were the shaper and master of language, while in fact language remains the master of man.
    Martin Heidegger (1889–1976)

    During the Civil War the area became a refuge for service- dodging Texans, and gangs of bushwhackers, as they were called, hid in its fastnesses. Conscript details of the Confederate Army hunted the fugitives and occasional skirmishes resulted.
