Our Language Quotes

Loving your language means a command of its vocabulary beyond the level of the everyday Picture Quote #1

It’s amazing. The moment you show cash, everyone knows your language Picture Quote #1

Speak for yourself. Do you think I’d speak for you? I don’t even know your language Picture Quote #1

The question is how to bring a work of imagination out of one language that was just as taken-for-granted by the persons who used it as our language is by ourselves. Nothing strange about it Picture Quote #1

I love luxury. And luxury lies not in richness and ornateness but in the absence of vulgarity. Vulgarity is the ugliest word in our language. I stay in the game to fight it Picture Quote #1

However well equipped our language, it can never be forearmed against all possible cases that may arise and call for description: fact is richer than diction Picture Quote #1

The arts make vivid the fact that words do not, in their literal form or number, exhaust what we can know. The limits of our language do not define the limits of our cognition Picture Quote #1

We can move no faster than the evolution of our language, and this is certainly part of what the psychedelics are about: they force the evolution of language Picture Quote #1

I think we’re still in a muddle with our language, because once you get words and a spoken language it gets harder to communicate Picture Quote #1

When I speak of the erotic, then I speak of it as an assertion of the life force of women; of that creative energy empowered, the knowledge and use of which we are now reclaiming in our language, our history, our dancing, our loving, our work, our lives Picture Quote #1

It is often said that experiments should be made without preconceived ideas. That is impossible. Not only would it make every experiment fruitless, but even if we wished to do so, it could not be done. Every man has his own conception of the world, and this he cannot so easily lay aside. We must, example, use language, and our language is necessarily steeped in preconceived ideas. Only they are unconscious preconceived ideas, which are a thousand times the most dangerous of all Picture Quote #1

We live in a world where our social system is old, our language is old, the way we acquire goods and services is outdated, our cities are detrimental to our health, chaotic and a tremendous waste of resource, and most of all our politics and values no longer serve us Picture Quote #1

By a symbol I do not mean an allegory or a sign, but an image that describes in the best possible way the dimly discerned nature of the spirit. A symbol does not define or explain; it points beyond itself to a meaning that is darkly divined yet still beyond our grasp, and cannot be adequately expressed in the familiar words of our language Picture Quote #1

Often I am struck in amazement about a word: I suddenly realize that the complete arbitrariness of our language is but a part of the arbitrariness of our own world in general Picture Quote #1

Fear not because your prayer is stammering, your words feeble, and your language poor. Jesus can understand you Picture Quote #1

Our language is the product of … extraordinary thought and philosophical greatness. … there is a lifetime and more of study here, which would turn our impoverishing certitudes into humanizing doubts Picture Quote #1

People who do not speak our language very well do complain of feeling rebuffed by French people, who can sometimes be impatient, or even intolerant Picture Quote #1

Duty, then is the sublimest word in our language. Do your duty in all things. You cannot do more; you should never wish to do less Picture Quote #1

Even if you didn’t see the movie, you’d see two words you’d never seen put together before-comedy and Muslim. Comedy is friendly - it’s the least offensive word in our language Picture Quote #1

They place great stress on the clarity of our language for expressing nuances and showing subtleties Picture Quote #1

A dance performance is rather like going out into a battlefield. You have to hold the attention of as many as five to 10,000 people a lot of whom do not follow your language Picture Quote #1

She was fluent in four languages and yet her fists against the rusted hood were the fullest articulation of her defeat Picture Quote #1

I lean over you, your equal, offering you a mirror for your perfect nothingness, for your shadows which are neither light nor absence of light, for this void which contemplates. To all that which you are, and, for our language, are not, I add a consciousness. I make you experience your supreme identity as a relationship, I name you and define you. You become a delicious passivity Picture Quote #1

They took away our land, our language, and our religion; but they could never harness our tongues Picture Quote #1

Women and men communicate differently, often on entirely different planes. But just as men have failed us, we have failed them. It has been one of our great collective female shortcomings to presume that whatever we do not perceive simply isn’t there, or that whatever is not communicated in our language is not intelligible speech Picture Quote #1

My mother always told me I had to do 100 times better than a man. I had to work hard at maths, and learn four languages Picture Quote #1

So, not for lack of love of language, but because I feel our language is in an enormous state of humiliation, I decided to make films without words Picture Quote #1

If our language, our programs, our creations are not strongly present in the new media, the young generation of our country will be economically and culturally marginalized Picture Quote #1

The other creatures with which we share this world have their rights too, but not speaking our language, they have no voice, no vote; it is our moral duty to take care of them Picture Quote #1

Speaking our language, you will understand us - and if you can think as another man thinks, you cannot dislike him Picture Quote #1
