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

Finnish is not a language, it is a way of setting at the end of the bench with your fur cap pulled over your ears Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Language is the main instrument of man’s refusal to accept the world as it is Picture Quote #1

The sound of the sea, the curve of a horizon, wind in leaves, the cry of a bird leave manifold impression in us. And suddenly, without our wishing it at all, one of these memories spills from us and finds expression in musical language... I want to sing my interior landscape with the simple artlessness of a child Picture Quote #1

It is impossible to disassociate language from science... To call forth a concept, a word is needed Picture Quote #1

The presentation of hard core pornography, brutality and shocking language, from what I hear, is leaving the public jaded and tired of this kind of film Picture Quote #1

A monomaniac is a sick person whose mentality is perfectly healthy in all respects but one; he has a single flaw, clearly localized. At times, for example, he has an unreasonable and absurd desire to drink or steal or use abusive language; but all his other acts and all his other thoughts are strictly correct Picture Quote #1

We don’t realize how much we create reality through language. If we say that life is hard, it will be hard Picture Quote #1

As for rosemary, I let it run all over my garden walls, not only because my bees love it but because it is the herb sacred to remembrance and to friendship, whence a sprig of it hath a dumb language Picture Quote #1

We must learn to speak the language women speak when there is no one there to correct us Picture Quote #1

The point is that it looks like gambling because the language of the game is money Picture Quote #1

Text messaging is just the most recent focus of people’s anxiety; what people are really worried about is a new generation gaining control of what they see as their language Picture Quote #1

Intimacy is not trapped within words. It passes through words. It passes. The truth is that intimates leave the room. Doors close. Faces move away from the window. Time passes. Voices recede into the dark. Death finally quiets the voice. And there is no way to deny it. No way to stand in the crowd, uttering one’s family language Picture Quote #1

I love that moment in writing when language falls short. There is something more there. A larger body. Even by the failure of words I begin to detect its dimensions. As I work the prose, shift the verbs, look for new adjectives, a different rhythm, syntax, something new begins to come to the surface Picture Quote #1

Research shows that those kids who text frequently are more likely to be the most literate and the best spellers, because you have to know how to manipulate language Picture Quote #1

I think that there’s only one nationality and one language in the sport, and you call it performance Picture Quote #1

I’d like to point out to people the divine in a musical language that transcends words. I want to speak to their souls Picture Quote #1

Notes and chords have become my second language and, more often than not, that vocabulary expresses what I feel when language fails me Picture Quote #1

Beauty can only be best described at its origin through a befuddling silence, the kind that leaves one almost on the verge of a pleasurable death, just because one chooses beauty over life. There is nothing in this world to hold something so pure, so divine except a loving heart. And it is the only manner through which love recognises love; the language of love has no alphabet, no words Picture Quote #1

Writers are not mere copyists of language; they are polishers, embellishers, perfecters. They spend hours getting the timing right so that what they write sounds completely unrehearsed Picture Quote #1

Movement is my medicine, my meditation, my metaphor and my method, a living language we can rely upon to tell us the truth about who we are, who we are with, and where we are going. There is no dogma in the dance Picture Quote #1

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

There’s a whole language out there, and one’s role as a writer is to stumble around in it Picture Quote #1
