When we place a population of lymphocytes from such an animal in appropriate tissue culture fluid, and when we add an antigen, the lymphocytes will produce specific antibody molecules, in the absense of any nerve cells. I find it astonishing that the immune system embodies a degree of complexity which suggests some more or less superficial though striking analogies with human language, and that this cognitive system has evolved and functions without assistance of the brain  (Human Language Quotes) The language of my love does not belong to human language, my human body does not touch the flesh of my love  (Human Language Quotes) We become full human agents, capable of understanding ourselves, and hence of defining our identity, through our acquisition of rich human languages of expression  (Human Language Quotes) The human language, as precise as it is with its thousands of words, can still be so wonderfully vague  (Human Language Quotes) To say she was my girlfriend was absurd: no one the wrong side of thirty has a girlfriend… I suppose I ought to have realize it’s ominous that forty thousand years of human language had failed to produce a word for our relationship  (Human Language Quotes) Mathematicians may flatter themselves that they possess new ideas which mere human language is as yet unable to express. Let them make the effort to express these ideas in appropriate words without the aid of symbols, and if they succeed they will not only lay us laymen under a lasting obligation, but, we venture to say, they will find themselves very much enlightened during the process, and will even be doubtful whether the ideas as expressed in symbols had ever quite found their way out of the equations into their minds  (Human Language Quotes) I am calling attention just to the main points of these tremendously important matters, which can be understood better by pious meditation than explained by human language  (Human Language Quotes) A programming language is like a natural, human language in that it favors certain methaphors, images, and ways of thinking  (Human Language Quotes) In my games I have sometimes found a combination intuitively simply feeling that it must be there. Yet I was not able to translate my thought processes into normal human language  (Human Language Quotes) The telling of stories, like singing and praying, would seem to be an almost ceremonial act, an ancient and necessary mode of speech that tends the earthly rootedness of human language. For narrated events always happen somewhere. And for an oral culture, that location is never merely incidental to those occurrences. The events belong, as it were, to the place, and to tell the story of those events is to let the place itself speak through the telling  (Human Language Quotes) The power of nature exists in its silence. Human words cannot encode the meaning because human language has access only to the shadow of meaning  (Human Language Quotes) Human language has a vocabulary suited to our daily needs and functions: the shape of any human language maps approximately to the needs and activities of our mundane lives. But few would deny that there is another dimension of human existence which transcends the mundane: call it the soul, the spirit: it is that part of the human frame which sees the shimmer of the numinous  (Human Language Quotes) One can choose to obsess over prescriptive rules, but they have no more to do with human language than the criteria for judging cats at a cat show have to do with mammalian biology  (Human Language Quotes) There are very deep and restrictive principles that determine the nature of human language and are rooted in the specific character of the human mind  (Human Language Quotes) Human language is local and changeable, and is therefore incapable of being used as the means of unchangeable and universal information  (Human Language Quotes) The earliest language was body language and, since this language is the language of questions, if we limit the questions, and if we only pay attention to or place values on spoken or written language, then we are ruling out a large area of human language  (Human Language Quotes) The best part of human language, properly so called, is derived from reflection on the acts of the mind itself  (Human Language Quotes) Language, human language, after all is but little better than the croak and cackle of fowls, and other utterances of brute nature, sometimes not so adequate  (Human Language Quotes)
