Language Quotes

There are no easy words for the insights of the spirit, and approximate language used in good faith can cause approximate truths to spread like a disease Picture Quote #1

A language that doesn’t have everything is actually easier to program in than some that do Picture Quote #1

The language you use for your poems should be the language you use with your friends Picture Quote #1

There is a language older by far and deeper than words. It is the language of bodies, of body on body, wind on snow, rain on trees, wave on stone. It is the language of dream, gesture, symbol, memory. We have forgotten this language. We do not even remember that it exists Picture Quote #1

Prune what is turgid, elevate what is commonplace, arrange what is disorderly, introduce rhythm where the language is harsh, modify where it is too absolute Picture Quote #1

Dialogue, contrary to popular view, is not a recording of actual speech; it is a semblance of speech, an invented language of exchanges that build in tempo or content toward climaxes Picture Quote #1

Writing fiction is a solitary occupation but not really a lonely one. The writer’s head is mobbed with characters, images and language, making the creative process something like eavesdropping at a party for which you’ve had the fun of drawing up the guest list. Loneliness usually doesn’t set in until the work is finished, and all the partygoers and their imagined universe have disappeared Picture Quote #1

What humans do with the language of mathematics is to describe patterns... To grow mathematically children must be exposed to a rich variety of patterns appropriate to their own lives through which they can see variety, regularity, and interconnections Picture Quote #1

A landscape image cuts across all political and national boundaries, it transcends the constraints of language and culture Picture Quote #1

Chess is like a language, the top players are very fluent at it. Talent can be developed scientifically but you have to find first what you are good at Picture Quote #1

I photograph from the heart. I adore little babies and I think that shows. My images are really very positive, very simple, and from the heart. Babies speak a universal language Picture Quote #1

Photography is a medium, a language, through which I might come to experience directly, live more closely with, the interaction between myself and nature Picture Quote #1

The meaning of quality in photography’s best pictures lies written in the language of vision. That language is learned by chance, not system Picture Quote #1

We’re losing social skills, the human interaction skills, how to read a person’s mood, to read their body language, how to be patient until the moment is right to make or press a point. Too much exclusive use of electronic information dehumanises what is a very, very important part of community life and living together Picture Quote #1

One barrier... is the impoverishment of classroom language, the failure to cultivate a common vocabulary about inquiry, explanation, argument and problem solving Picture Quote #1

To me the drawn language is a very revealing language: one can see in a few lines whether a man is really an architect Picture Quote #1

Marriage is the internationally recognised system of relationship recognition. It is the global language of love. When we were young, most of us dreamed of one day getting married. We didn’t dream about having a civil partnership Picture Quote #1

In the long run, the replacement of the precise and disciplined language of science by the misleading language of litigation and advocacy may be one of the more important sources of damage to society incurred in the current debate over global warming Picture Quote #1

To learn a new language is, therefore, always a sort of spiritual adventure; it is like a journey of discovery in which we find a new world Picture Quote #1

Embedded in every technology there is a powerful idea, sometimes two or three powerful ideas. Like language itself, a technology predisposes us to favor and value certain perspectives and accomplishments and to subordinate others. Every technology has a philosophy, which is given expression in how the technology makes people use their minds, in how it codifies the world, in which of our senses it amplifies, in which of our emotional and intellectual tendencies it disregards Picture Quote #1

The secret of language is the secret of sympathy, and its full charm is possible only to the gentle Picture Quote #1

Of all social institutions language is least amenable to initiative. It blends with the life of society, and the latter, inert by nature, is a prime conservative force Picture Quote #1

Written forms obscure our view of language. They are not so much a garment as a disguise Picture Quote #1

In the lives of individuals and societies, language is a factor of greater importance than any other. For the study of language to remain solely the business of a handful of specialists would be a quite unacceptable state of affairs Picture Quote #1

Language is surely too small a vessel to contain these emotions of mind and body that have somehow awakened a response in the spirit Picture Quote #1

I can’t just tell the guys I want the ball, I have to do it with my body language Picture Quote #1

The mood was terrible. You could see it in everybody’s eyes. The body language was just defeated. When they put me in I was hoping I could give us some energy and try to bring us back Picture Quote #1

An immune system of enormous complexity is present in all vertebrate animals. 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 Picture Quote #1

To excavate is to open a book written in the language that the centuries have spoken into the earth Picture Quote #1

If you will scoff at language study how, save in terms of language, will you scoff? Picture Quote #1
