And I must say tonight that a riot is the language of the unheard (Language Quotes)

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 (Language Quotes)

Custom is the most certain mistress of language, as the public stamp makes the current money (Language Quotes)

No one questions the fact that verbal language has to be learned, but the commonplaceness of visual experience betrays art; people tend to assume that, because they can see, they can see art (Language Quotes)
It’s my language, the language I speak. I’ve spent a lot more time playing music than talking or writing (Language Quotes)
