—David Lodge (b. 1935)
“This is an approach to that universal language which men have sought in vain.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“One who speaks a foreign language just a little takes more pleasure in it than one who speaks it well. Enjoyment belongs to those who know things halfway.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
