I believe that laughter is a language of God and that we can all live happily ever laughter.
Yakov Smirnoff
Everybody laughs the same in every language because laughter is a universal connection.
Yakov Smirnoff
When I read great literature, great drama, speeches, or sermons, I feel that the human mind has not achieved anything greater than the ability to share feelings and thoughts through language.
James Earl Jones
If the English language made any sense, lackadaisical would have something to do with a shortage of flowers.
Doug Larson
That means that every human being - without distinction of sex, age, race, skin color, language, religion, political view, or national or social origin - possesses an inalienable and untouchable dignity.
Hans Kung
Second, we also got a more authentic liturgy of the people of God, in the vernacular language.
Hans Kung
Knowing some Greek helped defuse forbidding words - not that I counted much on using them. You'll find only trace elements of this language in the poem.
James Merrill
But those two plays left me on fresh terms with language. I didn't always have to speak in my own voice.
James Merrill
So long as we use a certain language, all questions that we can ask will have to be formulated in it and will thereby confirm the theory of the universe which is implied in the vocabulary and structure of the language.
Michael Polanyi
Of course language manifests a belief only if we use its words with the implied acceptance of their appositeness.
Michael Polanyi
Today, for a Jew who writes in the German language, it is totally impossible to make a living. In no group do I see as much misery, disappointment, desperation and hopelessness as in Jewish writers who write in German.
Stefan Zweig
Perhaps it is the language that chooses the writers it needs, making use of them so that each might express a tiny part of what it is.
Jose Saramago
Language is legislation, speech is its code. We do not see the power which is in speech because we forget that all speech is a classification, and that all classifications are oppressive.
Roland Barthes
Language is a skin: I rub my language against the other. It is as if I had words instead of fingers, or fingers at the tip of my words. My language trembles with desire.
Roland Barthes
To try to write love is to confront the muck of language: that region of hysteria where language is both too much and too little, excessive and impoverished.
Roland Barthes
I thought it was respectful to each country to sing in their language.
Nana Mouskouri
In the plays - that's where I go crazy. But my prose has a much lighter touch; it's not trying to thrill with language, just to be more truthful. I'm not concerned with the accuracy of anything. We don't get to the truth of anything with facts.
Denis Johnson
I'm not any good at foul language or anything like that.
Thora Hird
I don't really read as much as I used to. A lot of what I was looking for as an escape I find in writing. And the other thing is that I don't want to get into someone else's language when I'm working.
Alice Hoffman
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.
