Language Quotes

The simplicities of natural laws arise through the complexities of the language we use for their expression Picture Quote #1

How astonishing it is that language can almost mean, and frightening that it does not quite Picture Quote #1

You should always be trying to write a poem you are unable to write, a poem you lack the technique, the language, the courage to achieve. Otherwise you’re merely imitating yourself, going nowhere, because that’s always easiest Picture Quote #1

The stars had only one task: they taught me how to read. They taught me I had a language in heaven and another language on earth Picture Quote #1

I identify myself in language, but only by losing myself in it like an object. What is realised in my history is not the past definite of what was, since it is no more, or even the present perfect of what has been in what I am, but the future anterior of what I shall have been for what I am in the process of becoming Picture Quote #1

Our native language is like a second skin, so much a part of us we resist the idea that it is constantly changing, constantly being renewed Picture Quote #1

What is that we human beings ultimately depend on? We depend on our words. We are suspended in language. Our task is to communicate experience and ideas to others Picture Quote #1

If you are sick, fast and pray; if the language is hard to learn, fast and pray; if the people will not hear you, fast and pray, if you have nothing to eat, fast and pray Picture Quote #1

What we observe is not nature itself but nature exposed to our method of questioning. Our scientific work in physics consists in asking questions about nature in the language that we possess and trying to get an answer from experiment by the means that are at our disposal Picture Quote #1

Human rights without responsibility, without a sense of decency, a sense of compassion, is not good enough for a society to flourish... We need to broaden our scope from the legalistic language to the language of the heart Picture Quote #1

How smooth must be the language of the whites, when they can make right look like wrong, and wrong like right Picture Quote #1

We acquire both the language and religious concepts from our immediate culture – at the same time. A child cannot discriminate between useful survival information and the emotional and psychological manipulations of religion. Once infected, these ideas are deeply embedded and almost impossible to change Picture Quote #1

Architects have made architecture too complex. We need to simplify it and use a language that everyone can understand Picture Quote #1

I’m a firm believer that language and how we use language determines how we act, and how we act then determines our lives and other people’s lives Picture Quote #1

My culture and my language have the right to exist, and no one has the authority to dismiss that Picture Quote #1

Faith brings into our lives such freedom, such love, such peace, and such joy that there are no words in any language that can explain it. You have to have it in order to know it. You have to experience it in order to understand it. Faith liberates. It liberates love and hope. If I am free to love and free to hope, what more do I want of life? Picture Quote #1

For if every true love affair can feel like a journey to a foreign country, where you can’t quite speak the language, and you don’t know where you’re going, and you’re pulled ever deeper into the inviting darkness, every trip to a foreign country can be a love affair, where you’re left puzzling over who you are and whom you’ve fallen in love with Picture Quote #1

There is a language beyond human language, an elemental language, one that arises from the land itself Picture Quote #1

Moreover, metaphor is typically viewed as characteristic of language alone, a matter of words rather than thought or action. For this reason, most people think they can get along perfectly well without metaphor. We have found, on the contrary, that metaphor is pervasive in everyday life, not just in language but in thought and action. Our ordinary conceptual system, in terms of which we both think and act, is fundamentally metaphorical in nature Picture Quote #1

In the absence of any written analogue to speech, the sensible, natural environment remains the primary visual counterpart of spoken utterance, the palpable site, or matrix wherein meaning occurs and proliferates. In the absence of writing, we find ourselves situated in the field of discourse as we are embedded in the natural landscape; indeed, the two matrices are not separable. We can no more stabilize the language and render its meanings determinate than we can freeze all motion and metamorphosis within the land Picture Quote #1

He was feeling totally lost, leaving his family and country for a place where he knew nobody and didn’t even speak the language Picture Quote #1

Math is my favorite subject. It’s the universal language. I like the fact that wherever you go in the whole world, two plus two will still be four Picture Quote #1

The sun is perfect and you woke this morning. You have enough language in your mouth to be understood. You have a name, and someone wants to call it. Five fingers on your hand and someone wants to hold it. If we just start there, every beautiful thing that has and will ever exist is possible. If we start there, everything, for a moment, is right in the world Picture Quote #1

There’s something in music which is obviously beyond language itself. It’s communication in its purest form Picture Quote #1

Here’s what I mean by the miracle of language. When you’re falling into a good book, exactly as you might fall into a dream, a little conduit opens, a passageway between a reader’s heart and a writer’s, a connection that transcends the barriers of continents and generations and even death... And here’s the magic. You’re different. You can never go back to being exactly the same person you were before you disappeared into that book Picture Quote #1

My preference is for prose with more silence in it, language that contains more pockets of strangeness Picture Quote #1

Your life doesn’t happen in any kind of order. Events don’t have cause and effect relationships the way you wish they did. It’s all a series of fragments and repetitions and pattern formations. Language and water have this in common Picture Quote #1

Personally I like going places where I don’t speak the language, don’t know anybody, don’t know my way around and don’t have any delusions that I’m in control. Disoriented, even frightened, I feel alive, awake in ways I never am at home Picture Quote #1

To speak about this universal force that will lead us beyond on the last horizon of our known self toward a wiser, more loving, more luminous states of being, we do not need to invent a new language. But we do need to listen to the old, the ancient one, not with our jaded minds, but with our awakened souls Picture Quote #1

Learning astrology is like learning any foreign language. You already have the ideas, concepts, and experiences of your life within you; you are just learning a new language for what you are already experiencing Picture Quote #1
