'Ouch' is not independent of social training. One has only to prick a foreigner to appreciate that it is an English word.
Willard Van Orman Quine
The English language is nobody's special property. It is the property of the imagination: it is the property of the language itself.
Derek Walcott
Let the teachers teach English and I will teach baseball. There is a lot of people in the United States who say isn't, and they ain't eating.
Dizzy Dean
That the king can do no wrong is a necessary and fundamental principle of the English constitution.
William Blackstone
Also, I have found that I really like to work in English. It's very strange because it's exactly the opposite of what I thought it would be like.
Olivier Martinez
If you want to be happy, live discreetly. Does that make sense in English?
Olivier Martinez
I was also in love with the English language.
Dick Schaap
I wouldn't say no to being in a film with Jude Law. I love English actors.
Catherine Deneuve
I speak English without an accent, and I speak Spanish without an accent. I really do have the best of both worlds.
Eva Mendes
The most beautiful words in the English language are 'not guilty'.
Maxim Gorky
After I learn more English, I'll work hard and make more films.
Zhang Ziyi
I landed a job with Roger Corman. The job was to write the English dialogue for a Russian science fiction picture. I didn't speak any Russian. He didn't care whether I could understand what they were saying; he wanted me to make up dialogue.
Francis Ford Coppola
All hockey players are bilingual. They know English and profanity.
Gordie Howe
The American mind, unlike the English, is not formed by books, but, as Carl Sandburg once said to me... by newspapers and the Bible.
Van Wyck Brooks
English is clipped in speech. Texas is exactly the opposite.
Michael Caine
My favorite subject probably was math. I love math. Figures just intrigue me. I was really good at math. English probably was my worst subject. But I used to write a lot of poetry. I used to write poetry all the time.
Herschel Walker
It's important to me to work in my own language now and then. I love English, but you can never learn to master a foreign language if you're not brought up with it.
Max von Sydow
English is taking over the world. I just wrote a piece about it. And it's not by design. The United States dominates because it's the biggest market.
Norman Spinrad
I think it's part of being English, particularly if you are middle-class - you're always looking to be reminded that you are no good and you are always actually embarrassed about being successful.
Chris Martin
Even modern English people are imperious, superior, ridden by class. All of the hypocrisy and the difficulties that are endemic in being British also make it an incredibly fertile place culturally. A brilliant place to live. Sad but true.
Pete Townshend
