The Americans are identical to the British in all respects except, of course, language (Language Quotes)
Shakespeare’s language does not require a British accent. It requires a facility with language, and that’s all. (Language Quotes)
Fools, most linguists. Damn all to say in one language, so they learn another and say damn all in that. (Language Quotes)
Metaphors, similes, puns - all manner of metonymy - I’m interested in language that cannot be parsed by a machine - language that can only be understood through acculturation. (Language Quotes)
On stage, you’re not limited at all because you’re free in language: language is the source of the imagination. You can travel farther in language than you can in any film. (Language Quotes)
Abstract painting seeks to be a pure pictorial language, and thus attempts to escape the essential impurity of all languages: the recourse to signs or forms that have meanings shared by everyone. (Language Quotes)
I am always sorry when any language is lost, because languages are the pedigrees of nations (Language Quotes)
Lyrics are important, but it’s hard, because English isn’t my first language - although it feels like it is these days! I grew up with amazing melodies, so getting that right on a song has always been the key thing for me, but there’s no reason why a great melody doesn’t deserve great lyrics. (Language Quotes)
I’m a first-time father, and it was amazing to me to learn that my son could actually use sign language before the spoken word. I could see this intelligence in his eyes before he could speak: how he could understand what was going on around him and was frustrated by that. (Language Quotes)
It’s amazing. The moment you show cash, everyone knows your language. (Language Quotes)
The language that nature speaks is the same language that we invented for mathematics. That’s just an amazing piece of luck, which we don’t understand. (Language Quotes)
How amazing that the language of a few thousand savages living on a fog-encrusted island in the North Sea should become the language of the world. (Language Quotes)
Canada and America are very, very different. It’s true that we share a language and many customs. But Americans have a very different view of the world. (Language Quotes)

When I went to college, I majored in American literature, which was unusual then. But it meant that I was broadly exposed to nineteenth-century American literature. I became interested in the way that American writers used metaphoric language, starting with Emerson. (Language Quotes)
I learned English at school, or at least that’s how it started. Also, in Holland - as opposed to some other European countries - we don’t dub anything, so as a kid growing up, always watching English and American movies in their original language really helped. (Language Quotes)
Language itself is so value-laden as to render value-neutrality almost impossible. Growing up in England I was introduced to the American Revolution by a ‘footnote’ to colonial history about the ‘revolt’ of the American colonies. Word choice and the organization of material gave the game away. (Language Quotes)
Our everyday language has become encumbered, Germanic, artificial, bureaucratic, inorganic. It may not be exaggerated to say that by now American writers face but two alternatives: write English, or write gobbledygook. (Language Quotes)

He who does not love his own language is worse than an animal and smelly fish (Language Quotes)
A poem is a construction of inner space. Language is to inner space as light is to material space. (Language Quotes)
Dying, we tell ourselves, is like going to sleep. This figure of speech occurs very commonly in everyday thought and language, as well as in the literature of many cultures and many ages. It was apparently quite common even in the time of the ancient Greeks. (Language Quotes)
