"A linguistic system is a series of differences of sound combined with a series of differences of ideas."
Saussure, Ferdinand De
"A mind enclosed in language is in prison."
Weil, Simone
"A special kind of beauty exists which is born in language, of language, and for language."
Bachelard, Gaston
"After all, when you come right down to it, how many people speak the same language even when they speak the same language?"
Hoban, Russell
"All true language is incomprehensible, like the chatter of a beggar's teeth."
Artaud, Antonin
"An art whose medium is language will always show a high degree of critical creativeness, for speech is itself a critique of life: it names, it characterizes, it passes judgment, in that it creates."
Mann, Thomas
"Any language is necessarily a finite system applied with different degrees of creativity to an infinite variety of situations, and most of the words and phrases we use are prefabricated in the sense that we don't coin new ones every time we speak."
Lodge, David
"As advertising blather becomes the nation's normal idiom, language becomes printed noise."
Will, George F.
"As societies grow decadent, the language grows decadent, too. Words are used to disguise, not to illuminate, action: you liberate a city by destroying it. Words are to confuse, so that at election time people will solemnly vote against their own interests"
Vidal, Gore
"As the language of the face is universal, so 'tis very comprehensive; no laconism can reach it: 'Tis the short hand of the mind, and crowds a great deal in a little room."
Collier, Jeremy
