Poetry, almost by definition, calls attention to its language and form.
Robert Morgan
War is what happens when language fails.
Margaret Atwood
In the best fiction, the language itself can become almost invisible.
Robert Morgan
Part of what we love about poetry is the fact that it seems ancient, that it has an authority of ancient language and ancient form, and that it's timeless, that it reaches back.
Robert Morgan
It was less a literary thing than a linguistic, philosophical preoccupation... discovering how far you can go with language to create immediate, elementary experience.
Robert Morgan
In the later books I am much more at home in the use of language to describe things. I had never thought of that until a critic pointed that out.
Robert Morgan
The Language Poets are writing only about language itself. The Ashbery poets are writing only about poetry itself. That seems to me a kind of dead end.
Robert Morgan
I love to create interesting textures with language. You can do it as long as it seems like a discovery.
Robert Morgan
As basic rules of a language must be practiced continually, and therefore are never fixed, so exercises toward distinct color effects never are done or over. New and different cases will be discovered time and again.
Josef Albers
I work with language. I love the flowers of afterthought.
Bernard Malamud
Life is a foreign language; all men mispronounce it.
Christopher Morley
To work our way towards a shared language once again, we must first learn how to discover patterns which are deep, and capable of generating life.
Christopher Alexander
If the word 'No' was removed from the English language, Ian Paisley would be speechless.
John Hume
As the mother teaches her children how to express themselves in their language, so one Gypsy musician teaches the other. They have never shown any need for notation.
Franz Liszt
When the English language gets in my way, I walk over it.
Billy Sunday
There is no language like the Irish for soothing and quieting.
John Millington Synge
Apparently Arnold was inspired by President Bush, who proved you can be a successful politician in this country even if English is your second language.
Conan O'Brien
I studied Japanese language and culture in college and graduate school, and afterward went to work in Tokyo, where I met a young man whose father was a famous businessman and whose mother was a geisha.
Arthur Golden
High thoughts must have high language.
Aristophanes
Language is a process of free creation; its laws and principles are fixed, but the manner in which the principles of generation are used is free and infinitely varied. Even the interpretation and use of words involves a process of free creation.
Noam Chomsky
