Famous quotes containing the words speaking and/or language:
“Let our conversation now be without precedent in fact or literature, each one speaking to the best of his ability the truth to the best of his knowledge.”
—Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)
“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)
