 No, obviously, the time goes by, the English gets better. Ever since I met Melanie, that was almost nine years ago now, you have to just speak the language continuously, hone every word. So, and the proof for me of that, was actually in theater. It has to be two hours and 45 minutes on the stage speaking a language that is not your language, and singing.

 All true language is incomprehensible, like the chatter of a beggar's teeth.
  Antonin Artaud

 Frankly I love the word 'nigga.' It is my favorite word in the English language because no other word incites more controversy today. A pe𝑥y individual doesn't chase validation, instead confidently existing as their authentic self, regardless of opinion. Frankly I love the word 'nigga.' It is my favorite word in the English language because no other word incites more controversy today.

 It is completely incomprehensible why the British have the necessary technology, but we don't. If we can't make effective rescue equipment ourselves, we need to buy it abroad.

 Regardless of what you do with the language, Jesus is warning people there is a destiny that is fearful and to be avoided at all costs and uses imagery that is meant to be shocking and frightening.

 Temper your enjoyments with prudence, lest there be written on your heart that fearful word "satiety
  Francis Quarles

 The words of the Hebrew tongue have a peculiar energy, ... It is impossible to convey so much so briefly in any other language. To render them intelligibly we must not attempt to give word for word translations, but only aim at the sense and the [original Author's] idea.
  Martin Luther King Jr.

 All of nature begins to whisper its secrets to us through its sounds. Sounds that were previously incomprehensible to our soul now become the meaningful language of nature.

 For a large class of cases -- though not for all -- in which we employ the word ''meaning'' it can be defined thus: the meaning of a word is its use in the language.
  Ludwig Wittgenstein

 I'm very fearful, very fearful that a lot of people who are going to depend on this trust fund are going to find out it's not what it's cracked up to be.

 The language was what we did the most work on. A big part of it was just performance wise, figuring out how to attack it. We thought that maybe we'd just try applying a modern, natural style of acting to it and just ignore the fact that it's this very formal type of language, and that didn't work at all. That totally fell completely flat. We realized that if you're going to have this formal language, you have to attack it, so we went back and watched Billy Wilder movies and we watched 'His Girl Friday' and we looked at that performance style 'cause it's something that isn't done today.

 And the saying pleased the king and the princes; and the king did according to the word of Memucan: / For he sent letters into all the king's provinces, into every province according to the writing thereof, and to every people after their language, that every man should bear rule in his own house, and that it should be published according to the language of every people.

 Happy are they who don't doubt themselves and whose pens fly across the page. I myself hesitate, I falter, I become angry and fearful, my drive diminishes as my taste improves, and I brood more over an ill-suited word than I rejoice over a well-proportioned paragraph.
  Gustave Flaubert
