Famous quotes containing the words people and/or languages:

    “There are people who would never have been in love, had they never heard love spoken of.”
    —François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)

    “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)
