Language Quotes

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

Design is just language and the real issue is what you use that language to do 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

I’m a failed poet. Reading poetry helps me to see the world differently, and I try to infuse my prose with figurative language, which goes against the trend in fiction Picture Quote #1

We are all citizens of one world, we are all of one blood. To hate people because they were born in another country, because they speak a different language, or because they take a different view on this subject or that, is a great folly. Desist, I implore you, for we are all equally human... Let us have but one end in view: the welfare of humanity Picture Quote #1

Filthy language is used by people who don’t have the maturity or intelligence to express themselves with better words Picture Quote #1

Nice writing isn’t enough. It isn’t enough to have smooth and pretty language. You have to surprise the reader frequently, you can’t just be nice all the time. Provoke the reader. Astonish the reader. Writing that has no surprises is as bland as oatmeal. Surprise the reader with the unexpected verb or adjective. Use one startling adjective per page Picture Quote #1

What is lofty can be said in any language. What is mean should be said in none Picture Quote #1

I originally wanted to embrace the imagery and forthrightness of rap music. There are some interesting, dynamic voices in rap. But I find most of it irresponsible in its overt violence and commercialization of anger. As artists, we believe we can will action through language. If that’s the case, we have to take responsibility for what we say Picture Quote #1

When people speak their own language you get a much better sense of who they are Picture Quote #1

If language had been the creation not of poetry but of logic, we should only have one Picture Quote #1

Surrealism is not a school of poetry but a movement of liberation... A way of rediscovering the language of innocence, a renewal of the primordial pact, poetry is the basic text, the foundation of the human order. Surrealism is revolutionary because it is a return to the beginning of all beginnings Picture Quote #1

Art is one of the dirtiest words in our language; it’s mucked up with all kinds of meanings. There’s the art of plumbing; there’s the art of almost anything that you can say Picture Quote #1

What the elements are to chemistry, what the sounds are to music, are words to language Picture Quote #1

It is not enough for me to stand before you tonight and condemn riots. It would be morally irresponsible for me to do that without, at the same time, condemning the contingent, intolerable conditions that exist in our society. These conditions are the things that cause individuals to feel that they have no other alternative than to engage in violent rebellions to get attention. And I must say tonight that a riot is the language of the unheard Picture Quote #1

The role of the writer is not to say what we can all say, but what we are unable to say. Most of the writing today which is called fiction contains such a poverty of language, such triteness, that it is a shrunken, diminished world we enter, poorer and more formless than the poorest cripple deprived of ears and eyes and tongue. The writer’s responsibility is to increase, develop our senses, expand our vision, heighten our awareness and enrich our articulateness Picture Quote #1

Custom is the most certain mistress of language, as the public stamp makes the current money Picture Quote #1

It’s as if we’re higher apes who had a language faculty inserted Picture Quote #1

I don’t speak... I operate a machine called language. It creaks and groans, but is mine own Picture Quote #1

Human eyes are the sign language of the brain. If you watch them carefully, you can see the truth played out, raw and unguarded Picture Quote #1

The best way to learn a language may be an episode of jail in a foreign country Picture Quote #1
