It was astoundingly difficult to woo a lady who thought he was either trying to purchase a chicken or a few tomatoes from her, or ask her for directions. ~ Colette Moody
Language Issues quotes by Colette Moody
Words simply mean what people think they mean when they say them. ~ Mike Brown
Language Issues quotes by Mike Brown
I know you are reading this poem which is not in your language
guessing at some words while others keep you reading
and I want to know which words they are.
I know you are reading this poem listening for something, torn between bitterness and hope
turning back once again to the task you cannot refuse.
I know you are reading this poem because there is nothing else left to read
there where you have landed, stripped as you are. ~ Adrienne Rich
Language Issues quotes by Adrienne Rich
Clearly, I'm committed to women's issues and stories and promoting gender equality. I have two incredible role models in Jenji [Kohan] and Shonda [Rhimes]. ~ Alysia Reiner
Language Issues quotes by Alysia Reiner
Language forms a kind of wealth, which all can make use of at once without causing any diminution of the store, and which thus admits a complete community of enjoyment; for all, freely participating in the general treasure, unconsciously aid in its preservation. ~ Auguste Comte
Language Issues quotes by Auguste Comte
Poetry is, first and last, language - the rest is filler. ~ Mark Strand
Language Issues quotes by Mark Strand
The poetical language of an age should be the current language heightened. ~ Gerard Manley Hopkins
Language Issues quotes by Gerard Manley Hopkins
Cato, being scurrilously treated by a low and vicious fellow, quietly said to him, "A contest between us is very unequal, for thou canst bear ill language with ease, and return it with pleasure; but to me it is unusual to hear, and disagreeable to speak it." There are none more abusive to others than they that lie most open to it themselves; but the humor goes round, and he that laughs at me today will have somebody to laugh at him tomorrow. ~ Seneca The Younger
Language Issues quotes by Seneca The Younger
Slowly but surely, we're beginning to turn the tide on childhood obesity in America. Together, we are inspiring leaders from every sector to take ownership of this issue. ~ Michelle Obama
Language Issues quotes by Michelle Obama
I think racism is a bottom-line AIDS issue. And I think homophobia is a bottom-line AIDS issue, and sexism and class issues and all of this. I think that we are not going to solve the AIDS epidemic unless we deal with these issues, and vice versa. ~ Ann Northrop
Language Issues quotes by Ann Northrop
Invent a new language anyone can understand. ~ Lawrence Ferlinghetti
Language Issues quotes by Lawrence Ferlinghetti
I could tell you which writer's rhythms I am imitating. It's not exactly plagiarism, it's falling in love with good language and trying to imitate it. ~ Charles Kuralt
Language Issues quotes by Charles Kuralt
The complexity of language, he thought to himself, lies not in its subject matter but in our knotted understanding. ~ Alexander Theroux
Language Issues quotes by Alexander Theroux
When I need to be precise about a plant, I use its Latin name, even if my nongardening friends sometimes look at me a little funny for using big words in a dead language - or in the kind of horticultural Esperanto that botanical names make up. ~ Allen Lacy
Language Issues quotes by Allen Lacy
On almost every issue involving postwar Iraq, [Bush's] assumptions and policies have been wrong. This strange combination of arrogance and incompetence has not only destroyed the hopes for a new Iraq. It has had the much broader effect of turning the United States into an international outlaw. ~ Fareed Zakaria
Language Issues quotes by Fareed Zakaria
It is at this point that normal language gives up, and goes and has a drink. ~ Terry Pratchett
Language Issues quotes by Terry Pratchett
I'm always impressed by people who can speak another language, two people talking what sounds like utter gibberish, yet making complete sense to each other never fails to entertain. ~ Tom Reynolds
Language Issues quotes by Tom Reynolds
Faith is the physical description of God. That's what He is. It's the only word we have in our language to accurately describe His physical form. ~ Jim Rowe
Language Issues quotes by Jim Rowe
Nationalist movements often overlapped with economic and class issues: Rumanian and Ruthenian peasants, for example, challenged their Hungarian and Polish landlords. ~ Margaret MacMillan
Language Issues quotes by Margaret MacMillan
Thomas Teal, a luminous translator of Jansson's twin talent for surface and depth, simplicity and reverberation in language, and someone who knows exactly how to convey her gift for sensing the meaning embedded in the most mundane act or turn of phrase. ~ Ali Smith
Language Issues quotes by Ali Smith
Embedded in every technology there is a powerful idea, sometimes two or three powerful ideas. Like language itself, a technology predisposes us to favor and value certain perspectives and accomplishments and to subordinate others. Every technology has a philosophy, which is given expression in how the technology makes people use their minds, in how it codifies the world, in which of our senses it amplifies, in which of our emotional and intellectual tendencies it disregards. ~ Neil Postman
Language Issues quotes by Neil Postman
Yes. A language that will at last say what we have to say. For our words no longer correspond to the world. When things were whole, we felt confident that our words could express them. But little by little these things have broken apart, shattered, collapsed into chaos. And yet our words have remained the same. Hence, every time we try to speak of what we see, we speak falsely, distorting the very thing we are trying to represent. [ ... ] Consider a word that refers to a thing- " umbrella", for example. [ ... ] Not only is an umbrella a thing, it is a thing that performs a function. [ ... ] What happens when a thing no longer performs its function? [ ... ] the umbrella ceases to be an umbrella. It has changed into something else. The word, however, has remained the same. Therefore it can no longer express the thing. ~ Paul Auster
Language Issues quotes by Paul Auster
Adults have their own issues and their own problems, which are understandable, and some adults are working through their own adolescent issues.- ~ Christian Smith
Language Issues quotes by Christian Smith
There is no secret language, Future Sam, that you have to speak in order to talk to someone you like. You just talk to them. Bonus ~ Lara Avery
Language Issues quotes by Lara Avery
Fancy language, like poplin, too often conceals an eczema. ~ Albert Camus
Language Issues quotes by Albert Camus
Firmly planted. Not fallen from on high: sprung up from below. Ochre, the color of burnt honey. The color of a sun buried a thousand years ago and dug up only yesterday. Fresh green and orange stripes running across its still-warm body. Circles, Greek frets: scattered traces of a lost alphabet? The belly of a woman heavy with child, the neck of a bird. If you cover and uncover its mouth with the palm of your hand, it answers you with a deep murmur, the sound of bubbling water welling up from its depths; if you tap its sides with your knuckles, it gives a tinkling laugh of little silver coins falling on stones. It has many tongues: it speaks of the language of clay and minerals, of air currents flowing between canyon walls, of washerwomen as they scrub, of angry skies, of rain. A vessel of baked clay: do not put it in a glass case alongside rare precious objects. It would look quite out of place. Its beauty is related to the liquid that it contains and to the thirst that it quenches. Its beauty is corporal: I see it, I touch it, I smell it, I hear it. If it is empty, It must be filled; if it is full, it must be emptied. I take it by the shaped handle as I would take a woman by the arm, I lift it up, I tip over a pitcher into which I pour milk or pulque - lunar liquids that open and close the doors of dawn and dark, waking a sleeping. ~ Octavio Paz
Language Issues quotes by Octavio Paz
Regarding children's literature, look for interesting content and well-constructed sentences clothed in literary language. The imagination should be warmed and the book should hold the interest of the child. Life's too short to spend time with books that bore us. ~ Deborah Taylor-Hough
Language Issues quotes by Deborah Taylor-Hough
Old Enochian running on neural wetware is not the fastest procedural language ever invented, and it's semantics make AppleScript look like a thing of elegance and beauty ~ Charles Stross
Language Issues quotes by Charles Stross
For a generation that gets most of its information off a computer screen (be it Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Twitter or what have you), an athlete has to be very careful about the public/private aspect of that. Be careful not to be overly critical, be careful with use of language, and understand the whole world is watching. ~ Leigh Steinberg
Language Issues quotes by Leigh Steinberg
The job of conservatives is to keep the Republican Party driving on the right-hand side of the road. There are many ways we do this. We argue, we publish, we lobby, we campaign for conservative candidates. Another thing we do is, when the GOP goes off the rails on really key issues - size of government, the National Question, Wilsonian adventures - we stay home on election day. ~ John Derbyshire
Language Issues quotes by John Derbyshire
I can understand why some people might look at me and say, 'What's she got to be depressed about?' I get that a lot in Britain, where mental health issues seem to be a big taboo. ~ Natalie Imbruglia
Language Issues quotes by Natalie Imbruglia
Language is the dress of thought; every time you talk your mind is on parade. ~ Samuel Johnson
Language Issues quotes by Samuel Johnson
I consider drawings finished works of art, first of all. However, the ideas can be something that can be developed into something larger. I don't make so many drawings anymore since I'm working with language. I used to make more when I worked with sculptural things, especially the wire pieces. ~ Robert Barry
Language Issues quotes by Robert Barry
They should set a very clear priority for the government. There is such a large penumbra of issues. The party needs to come to grips with the reality that it has to be coherent politically. ~ Mahesh Rangarajan
Language Issues quotes by Mahesh Rangarajan
Each child with special needs such as this does not come into the world in order to make our lives difficult and make us suffer. They each come into this world for a reason and have their secret inner voice. It remains to us to offer our love; to 'bear one another's burdens'; to experience a collective humbling - to realize, that is, that we are not as powerful and important as we think; and to try to lighten that person's burden and understand their language. These children are better at speaking the language of God. ~ Metropolitan Nikolaos Of Mesogaia
Language Issues quotes by Metropolitan Nikolaos Of Mesogaia
