Text Quotes
The chief virtue that language can have is clearness, and nothing detracts from it so much as the use of unfamiliar words  (Language Quotes) Lyrics have to be underwritten. That’s why poets generally make poor lyric writers because the language is too rich. You get drowned in it  (Language Quotes) We don’t have a language for the senses. Feelings are images, sensations are like musical sounds  (Language Quotes) There is a language of love, which is to say, a truth that does not tell all and a lie that does not deceive  (Language Quotes) Are they dead that yet speak louder than we can speak, and a more universal language? Are they dead that yet act? Are they dead that yet move upon society and inspire the people with nobler motives and more heroic patriotism?  (Language Quotes) To create a past that seemed authentic but would be a fiction, you need an invented language  (Language Quotes) I don’t see it in terms of changing things, but rather using language and music as weapons for fighting a mainstream media which is predominately right wing, and loyal to the political framework and its corporate interests  (Language Quotes) For in spite of language, in spite of intelligence and intuition and sympathy, one can never really communicate anything to anybody  (Language Quotes) Music expresses feeling and thought, without language; it was below and before speech, and it is above and beyond all words  (Language Quotes) When I don’t make any progress, it is because I have bumped into the wall of language. Then I draw back with a bloody head. And would like to go on  (Language Quotes) The unconscious is the ocean of the unsayable, of what has been expelled from the land of language, removed as a result of ancient prohibitions  (Language Quotes) An ancient father says that a dog we know is better company than a man whose language we do not understand  (Language Quotes) Language, if it throws a veil over our ideas, adds a softness and refinement to them, like that which the atmosphere gives to naked objects  (Language Quotes) The sum of human wisdom is not contained in any one language, and no single language is capable of expressing all forms and degrees of human comprehension  (Language Quotes) If men would avoid that general language and general manner in which they strive to hide all that is peculiar, and would say only what was uppermost in their own minds, after their own individual manner, every man would be interesting  (Language Quotes) We seem but to linger in manhood to tell the dreams of our childhood, and they vanish out of memory ere we learn the language  (Language Quotes) Eloquence is the language of nature, and cannot be learned in the schools; but rhetoric is the creature of art, which he who feels least will most excel in  (Language Quotes) We never do anything well till we cease to think about the manner of doing it. This is the reason why it is so difficult for any but natives to speak a language correctly or idiomatically  (Language Quotes) Language is the road map of a culture. It tells you where its people come from and where they are going  (Language Quotes) The struggle of literature is in fact a struggle to escape from the confines of language; it stretches out from the utmost limits of what can be said; what stirs literature is the call and attraction of what is not in the dictionary  (Language Quotes) Everything can change, but not the language that we carry inside us, like a world more exclusive and final than one’s mother’s womb  (Language Quotes) Occasionally in life there are those moments of unutterable fulfillment which cannot be completely explained by those symbols called words. Their meanings can only be articulated by the inaudible language of the heart  (Language Quotes) The novel does not seek to establish a privileged language but it insists upon the freedom to portray and analyze the struggle between the different contestants for such privileges  (Language Quotes) If you want to tell the untold stories, if you want to give voice to the voiceless, you’ve got to find a language. Which goes for film as well as prose, for documentary as well as autobiography. Use the wrong language, and you’re dumb and blind  (Language Quotes) In literature the ambition of the novice is to acquire the literary language; the struggle of the adept is to get rid of it  (Language Quotes) If everything is perfect, language is useless. This is true for animals. If animals don’t speak, it’s because everything’s perfect for them. If one day they start to speak, it will be because the world has lost a certain sort of perfection  (Language Quotes) Advertising is not merely an assembly of competing messages; it is a language itself which is always being used to make the same general proposal  (Language Quotes) I’ve found that there are only two kinds that are any good: slang that has established itself in the language, and slang that you make up yourself. Everything else is apt to be passe before it gets into print  (Language Quotes) The most evident difference springs from the important part which is played in man by a relatively strong power of imagination and by the capacity to think, aided as it is by language and other symbolically devices  (Language Quotes) The words of language, as they are written or spoken, do not seem to play any role in my mechanism of thought. The physical entities which seem to serve as elements in thought are certain signs and more or less clear images  (Language Quotes)
