Sign Languages

Famous quotes containing the words sign and/or languages:

    When a woman says she won’t, it’s a good sign that she will. And when she says she will, it is an even better sign.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)

    The less sophisticated of my forbears avoided foreigners at all costs, for the very good reason that, in their circles, speaking in tongues was commonly a prelude to snake handling. The more tolerant among us regarded foreign languages as a kind of speech impediment that could be overcome by willpower.
    Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
