Language quote from classy quote

Speech is human nature itself, with none of the artificiality of written language.

~ Alfred North Whitehead

Alfred North Whitehead Language Human Nature

Mathematical science shows what is. It is the language of unseen relations between things. But to use and apply that language, we must be able fully to appreciate, to feel, to seize the unseen, the unconscious.

~ Ada Lovelace

Ada Lovelace Language Appreciate Feel

The very large brain that humans have, plus the things that go along with it - language, art, science - seemed to have evolved only once. The eye, by contrast, independently evolved 40 times. So, if you were to 'replay' evolution, the eye would almost certainly appear again, whereas the big brain probably wouldn't.

~ Richard Dawkins

Richard Dawkins Art Eye Language

Most of the fundamental ideas of science are essentially simple, and may, as a rule, be expressed in a language comprehensible to everyone.

~ Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein Simple Language Ideas

Since Hiroshima and the Holocaust, science no longer holds its pristine place as the highest moral authority. Instead, that role is taken by human rights. It follows that any assault on Jewish life - on Jews or Judaism or the Jewish state - must be cast in the language of human rights.

~ Jonathan Sacks

Jonathan Sacks Life Language Moral

There's something about studying body language and non-spoken emotion - I know the innate response. But to really study it like a science would be fun.

~ Shia Labeouf

Shia Labeouf Fun Language Studying

Following my junior year in high school, I went on a camping trip through Russia in a group led by Horst Momber, a young language teacher from Roosevelt.

~ Peter Agre

Peter Agre School Language

I'm a teacher and a writer; my life is words. When I see the denigration of language, it hurts me, and it's easy to denigrate a word by trivializing it.

~ Elie Wiesel

Elie Wiesel Life Language Words

It is hardly an exaggeration to say that oral teachers and sign teachers found it difficult to sit down in the same room without quarreling, and there was intolerance upon both sides. To say 'oral method' to a sign teacher was like waving a red flag in the face of a bull, and to say 'sign language' to an oralist aroused the deepest resentment.

~ Alexander Graham Bell

Alexander Graham Bell Language Red Face

When it comes to tyrants, dictators and terrorists, strength and the threat of force is the only language they understand.

~ Kevin Mccarthy

Kevin Mccarthy Language Understand Force

I really never thought I was that good at film. And honestly still don't. My strength is language. My background is monologues and a certain kind of Brechtian spin on theater.

~ Liev Schreiber

Liev Schreiber Good Thought Language

Communism possesses a language which every people can understand - its elements are hunger, envy, and death.

~ Heinrich Heine

Heinrich Heine Language People Communism

The language 'It's too late' is very unsuitable for most environmental issues. It's too late for the dodo and for people who've starved to death already, but it's not too late to prevent an even bigger crisis. The sooner we act on the environment, the better.

~ Jeremy Grantham

Jeremy Grantham Environmental Language

You're trying to write about something that's sacred. You're trying to bring the seriousness of life and death to it, and you're trying to find a way to dramatize it, and you're trying to give language to it, which is inadequate. But it's important to try.

~ Edward Hirsch

Edward Hirsch Life Language You

When I started out as a music journalist, at the end of the 1980s, it was generally assumed that we were living through the lamest music era the world would ever see. But those were also the years when hip-hop exploded, beatbox disco soared, indie rock took off, and new wave invented a language of teen angst.

~ Rob Sheffield

Rob Sheffield Music Language World

As you begin to realize that every different type of music, everybody's individual music, has its own rhythm, life, language and heritage, you realize how life changes, and you learn how to be more open and adaptive to what is around us.

~ Yo-Yo Ma

Music happens to be an art form that transcends language.

~ Herbie Hancock

Herbie Hancock Art Language Happens

I see music as one language. If one musical form eats its own tail, it dies. So it needs to be a mongrel, it needs to be hybridised.

~ Sting

Sting Language See Tail

The language of film is further and further away from the language of theater and is closer to music. It's abstract but still narrative.

~ Emmanuel Lubezki

Emmanuel Lubezki Language Film Abstract

Music, as many people have said, is the universal language. Of course points are made which make you think about things, but ultimately it makes you feel. And that's why people remember more songs that have meant something during their life than films. They start to define periods in your life, and that's kind of the beauty of it.

~ Scott Weiland

Scott Weiland Life Beauty Language

Instrumental music can spread the international language.

~ Herb Alpert

Herb Alpert Language International

I don't see it in terms of changing things, but rather using language and music as weapons for fighting a mainstream media which is predominately right wing, and loyal to the political framework and its corporate interests.

~ Thom Yorke

Thom Yorke Language Media Political

The poetical language of an age should be the current language heightened.

~ Gerard Manley Hopkins

Ours is the age of substitutes: instead of language, we have jargon: instead of principles, slogans: and, instead of genuine ideas, bright ideas.

~ Eric Bentley

Eric Bentley Language Ideas Principles

Philosophy is a battle against the bewitchment of our intelligence by means of language.

~ Ludwig Wittgenstein

Ludwig Wittgenstein Language Philosophy Battle

When our governments want to sell us a course of action, they do it by making sure it's the only thing on the agenda, the only thing everyone's talking about. And they pre-load the ensuing discussion with highly selected images, devious and prejudicial language, dubious linkages, weak or false 'intelligence' and selected 'leaks.'

~ Brian Eno

Brian Eno Language Action Want

Human language is the new UI layer, bots are like new applications, and digital assistants are meta apps. Intelligence is infused into all of your interactions.

~ Satya Nadella

~ Peter Zumthor

Peter Zumthor Society Language Speak

The British political system and the whole clapped out Westminster architecture, and the language that we use about politics, it's completely unsustainable. You either decide to be part of that transition to do something different. Or you cling to old certainties.

~ Nick Clegg

Nick Clegg Politics Language

'Station to Station' came out of a sense of urgency - a sense that culture, be it art, film or architecture, has become so compartmentalised.

~ Doug Aitken

Doug Aitken Art Culture Language

~ Joseph Lancaster

Joseph Lancaster Kindness Language Natural
