A special kind of beauty exists which is born in
language, of
language, and for
language.
View quotes by Gaston BachelardThere is no such thing as an ugly
language. Today I hear every
language as if it were the only one, and when I hear of one that is dying, it overwhelms me as though it were the death of the earth.
View quotes by Elias CanettiIf you talk to a man in a
language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his
language, that goes to his heart.
View quotes by Nelson MandelaGreat art speaks a
language which every intelligent person can understand. The people who call themselves modernists today speak a different
language.
View quotes by Marshall McLuhanI do not mind what
language an opera is sung in so long as it is a
language I do not understand.
View quotes by Sir Edward Appleton But if thought corrupts
language,
language can also corrupt thought.
View quotes by George OrwellMan acts as though he were the shaper and master of
language, while in fact
language remains the master of man.
View quotes by Martin HeideggerThe problems of
language here are really serious. We wish to speak in some way about the structure of the atoms. But we cannot speak about atoms in ordinary
languageView quotes by Werner HeisenbergI don't mind what
language an opera is sung in so long as it is a
language I don't understand.
View quotes by Edward AppletonI think foreign countries really do like it when American artists sing in their
language. And when you go over there and say, 'Hi, how are you?' in their
language, they love it. It makes them feel like you're doing it just for them. We in America take so much for granted.
View quotes by Natalie ColeWe have really everything in common with America nowadays except, of course,
languageView quotes by Oscar WildeOn his own history with mathematics, and connection with John Nash:
'I had a bit of a hiccup in the third year of high school. The school I was at hired a non-English speaking Hungarian who was a professional of some great standing in Eastern Europe. But he hadn't learned the English
language yet. He probably is a great asset to the teaching staff now, but we were his first class. That was when mathematics and I parted ways.
'There's a lot of mathematics in music. It's all in groups of eight, mate, y'know. The one thing that I may have in common with John is that the subject matter I do know, the driving part of my life, my work life, there's a point where structure and scaffolding is left behind and intuition takes over. That's the difference between John and the next 100 mathematicians. He's fully prepared to leave the scaffolding behind and get into the ether of the equation and find the answer quicker. The bane of his existence, however, is finding the proof.'

View quotes by Ben Affleck
My first language was shy. It's only by having been thrust into the limelight that I have learned to cope with my shyness.

Two nations divided by a common language.
View quotes by Winston Churchill
Every major question in history is a religious question. It has more effect in moulding life than nationalism or a common language.
View quotes by Hilaire Belloc
Language is not only the vehicle of thought, it is a great and efficient instrument in thinking.
