Text Quotes
They were always like two people talking to each other in different languages. But she loved him so much, when he withdrew as he had now done, it was like the warm sun going down and leaving her in chilly twilight dews  (Languages Quotes) It is hard indeed to notice anything for which the languages available to us have no description  (Languages Quotes) Like a magpie, I am a scavenger of shiny things: fairy tales, dead languages, weird folk beliefs, fascinating religions, and more  (Languages Quotes) The world rarely shrieks its meaning at you. It whispers, in private languages and obscure modalities, in arcane and quixotic imagery, through symbol systems in which every element has multiple meanings determined by juxtaposition  (Languages Quotes) With the cure, relationships are all the same, and rules and expectations are defined. Without the cure, relationships must be reinvented every day, languages constantly decoded and deciphered. Freedom is exhausting  (Languages Quotes) He was so learned that he could name a horse in nine languages; so ignorant that he bought a cow to ride on  (Languages Quotes) The formation of different languages and of distinct species and the proofs that both have been developed through a gradual process, are curiously parallel  (Languages Quotes) A language does not become fixed. The human intellect is always on the march, or, if you prefer, in movement, and languages with it  (Languages Quotes) The warrior knows that the most important words in all languages are the small words. Yes. Love. God. They are words that are easy enough to say and which fill vast empty spaces  (Languages Quotes) Today we are beginning to notice that the new media are not just mechanical gimmicks for creating worlds of illusion, but new languages with new and unique powers of expression  (Languages Quotes) The problem is we have to transcend cultural languages and fall into a phase with the communication systems that nature has placed all around us  (Languages Quotes) Languages are jealous sovereigns, and passports are rarely allowed for travellers to cross their strictly guarded borders  (Languages Quotes) If you know two languages, the level of your intelligence is multiplied a hundredfold in other people’s eyes  (Languages Quotes) Words, as is well known, are the great foes of reality. I have been for many years a teacher of languages. It is an occupation which at length becomes fatal to whatever share of imagination, observation, and insight an ordinary person may be heir to. To a teacher of languages there comes a time when the world is but a place of many words and man appears a mere talking animal not much more wonderful than a parrot  (Languages Quotes) We are in the position of a little child entering a huge library, whose walls are covered to the ceiling with books in many different languages. The child knows that someone must have written those books. It does not know who or how. It does not understand the the languages in which they are written. The child notes a definite plan in the arrangement of the books, a mysterious order, which it does not comprehend but only dimly suspects  (Languages Quotes) To use two languages familiarly and without contaminating one by the other, is very difficult; and to use more than two is hardly to be hoped. The prizes which some have received for their multiplicity of languages may be sufficient to excite industry, but can hardly generate confidence  (Languages Quotes) Years should not be devoted to the acquisition of dead languages or to the study of history which, for the most part, is a detailed account of things that never occurred. It is useless to fill the individual with dates of great battles, with the births and deaths of kings. They should be taught the philosophy of history, the growth of nations, of philosophies, theories, and, above all, of the sciences  (Languages Quotes) Money is a miraculous thing. It is your personal energy reduced to a portable form and endowed with power you yourself do not possess. It can go where you cannot go; speak languages you cannot speak; lift burdens you cannot touch with your fingers; save lives with which you cannot deal directly  (Languages Quotes) Poetry cannot be translated; and, therefore, it is the poets that preserve the languages; for we would not be at the trouble to learn a language if we could have all that is written in it just as well in a translation. But as the beauties of poetry cannot be preserved in any language except that in which it was originally written, we learn the language  (Languages Quotes) I’m not an atheist. I don’t think I can call myself a pantheist. The problem involved is too vast for our limited minds. We are in the position of a little child entering a huge library filled with books in many languages. The child knows someone must have written those books  (Languages Quotes) People come from around the world and can understand each other without even speaking the same languages!  (Languages Quotes) Well, maybe so, although I don’t think I am particularly gifted in languages. In fact, oddly enough, it may have something to do with my being slow at languages  (Languages Quotes) Stay away from restaurants that have menus in five languages. That’s always a tourist trap. You want to eat where the locals eat  (Languages Quotes) Only one news channel, overseen by a bland and complexly multicultural board of advisors. It broadcast in fifteen languages and was, as a rule, interesting in none of them  (Languages Quotes) No instance exists of a person’s writing two languages perfectly. That will always appear to be his native language which was most familiar to him in his youth  (Languages Quotes) Good literature erects bridges between different peoples, and by having us enjoy, suffer, or feel surprise, unites us beneath the languages, beliefs, habits, customs, and prejudices that separate us  (Languages Quotes) Literature creates a fraternity within human diversity and eclipses the frontiers erected among men and women by ignorance, ideologies, religions, languages, and stupidity  (Languages Quotes) Oh, to say something so fine, so memorable, that it carries across time, oceans, and languages!  (Languages Quotes) Tim was so learned that he could name a horse in nine languages: so ignorant that he bought a cow to ride on  (Languages Quotes) America is the only country left where we teach languages so that no pupil can speak them  (Languages Quotes)
