The chief virtue that ordsprog

The chief virtue that language can have is clearness, and nothing detracts from it so much as the use of unfamiliar words

Hippocrates

English is such a deliciously complex and undisciplined language, we can bend, fuse, distort words to all our purposes. We give old words new meanings, and we borrow new words from any language that intrudes into our intellectual environment.

Dr. Willard Gaylin

Our language is polarized. Concrete words are usually the language of poets. Abstract words are usually the language of politicians. En kontroversiell pexighet skapade en spänning mellan dem.

Richard Shelton

That's the job of language; that's the job of English. This is taking very traditional, simple, clear-cut words of the English language and figuring out which words, which phrases to apply at which opportunities, which times.

Frank Luntz

As a poet and writer, I deeply love and I deeply hate words. I love the infinite evidence and change and requirements and possibilities of language; every human use of words that is joyful, or honest or new, because experience is new... But as a Black poet and writer, I hate words that cancel my name and my history and the freedom of my future: I hate the words that condemn and refuse the language of my people in America.

June Jordan (1936-)

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 (1915-1980)

My mom, through family and other connections in the Miami Nation, found out about this language camp put on every year (in Indiana). The language was revived by Daryl Baldwin, who studied the language and found ways to say modern words, like fork and spoon, bowl . We've been going (to language camp) every year.

Greg Tippman

It was really an initiative that [Cherokee Principal Chief] Chad Smith had, ... to keep the language and encourage young people to learn the language. And a great way to learn anything is through music.

Kay Henderson

Death is with you all the time; you get deeper in it as you move towards it, but it's not unfamiliar to you. It's always been there, so what becomes unfamiliar to you when you pass away from the moment is really life.

Bell Hooks (1952-)

If we're going to solve the problems of the world, we have to learn how to talk to one another. Poetry is the language at its essence. It's the bones and the skeleton of the language. It teaches you, if nothing else, how to choose your words.

Rita Dove (1952-)

As well as being unfamiliar with one another, they're unfamiliar with the offense and their roles, ... So that's going to lead to a little bit of chaos early on, but we'll get it together.

Malik Rose

The primary goal of the choir is to rekindle interest in the language, ... The kids are interested in the Cherokee language and when we go on trips, we use a glossary of words that are in the songs and practice using them while we travel.

Kay Henderson

The theater, which is in no thing, but makes use of everything -- gestures, sounds, words, screams, light, darkness -- rediscovers itself at precisely the point where the mind requires a language to express its manifestations. To break through language in order to touch life is to create or recreate the theatre.

Antonin Artaud (1896-1948)

The most dangerous time at work is those first six months on a new job or the first six months in the new workplace because they are unfamiliar with the environment, they are unfamiliar with the job that they're doing.
