Mitt språk förvillar och förstör,
mitt språk gör inte som jag gör.
Mina ögon talar, och jag bad:
lyssna till dem, gör mig glad.

Language is not an abstract construction of the learned, or of dictionary makers, but is something arising out of the work, needs, ties, joys, affections, tastes, of long generations of humanity, and has its bases broad and low, close to the ground

Noah Webster (1758-1843)

"Give us this day our daily bread" is probably the most perfectly constructed and useful sentence ever set down in the English language.

P. J. Wingate

Language... has created the word "loneliness" to express the pain of being alone. And it has created the word "solitude" to express the glory of being alone.

Paul Tillich (1886-1965)

The language of the mystics cannot meet the language of science and reason, but nevertheless in a world that craves experimental testimonies it will be always one of the roads by which our contemporaries can find God

Rene Vouillaume

I don't mind what language an opera is sung in so long as it is a language I don't understand.

Sir Edward Appleton

Language is memory and metaphor

Storm Jameson (1891-)

Language is by its very nature a communal thing; that is, it expresses never the exact thing but a compromise - that which is common to you, me and everybody

Thomas Ernest Hulme

It is difficult for a woman to define her feelings in a language which is chiefly made by men to express theirs.

Thomas Hardy (1840-1928)

Man does not live by words alone, despite the fact that sometimes he has to eat them.

Adlai E. Stevenson (1900-1965)

Languages are true analytical methods. Algebra, the means of expression which is the simplest, most exact and best adapted to its object, is both a language and an analytical method. In short, the art of reasoning can be reduced to a well-constructed

Antoine Lavoisier (1743-1794)

Language is a process of free creation; its laws and principles are fixed, but the manner in which the principles of generation are used is free and infinitely varied. Even the interpretation and use of words involves a process of free creation.

Avram Noam Chomsky (1928-)

Television excites me because it seems to be the last stamping ground of poetry, the last place where I hear women's hair rhapsodically described, women's faces acclaimed in odelike language.

Ben Hecht (1893-1964)

It is not difficult to write in Spanish; the Spanish language is a gift from the gods which we Spaniards take for granted. I take comfort therefore in the belief that you wished to pay tribute to a glorious language and not to the humble writer who uses it for everything it can express: the joy and the wisdom of Mankind, since literature is an art form of all and for all, although written without deference, heeding only the voiceless, anonymous murmur of a given place and time.

Camilo Jose Cela (1916-2002)

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.

Coco Chanel (1883-1971)

Americans who travel abroad for the first time are often shocked to discover that, despite all the progress that has been made in the last 30 years, many foreign people still speak in foreign languages

Dave Barry (1947-)
