Collection of Sayings about Languages

Я убежден, что каждый новый язык расширяет сознание человека и его мир. Это как будто еще один глаз и еще одно ухо. "Даниэль Штайн, переводчик" Людмила Улицкая
Le tengo cariño a la H. Es como unos zapatos viejos, que no valen para nada, pero que no te animas a tirarlos porque te recuerdan por dónde has caminado con ellos. José Antonio Millán, filólogo
Все прочие авторы могут желать похвал - авторы словарей и грамматик могут только желать избежать упреков. Жан Андрие
"I speak Spanish to God, Italian to women, French to men, and German to my horse." - Holy Roman Emperor Charles V
английский — это нацистский, не поддающийся логике язык (Пинкер Стивен Язык как инстинкт)
It's hard to imagine that a word is only 0.1% of a picture. American english: issue 49
“English doesn’t borrow from other languages. English follows other languages down dark alleys, knocks them over and goes through their pockets for loose grammar!” - Author unknown
I had a linguistics professor who said that it's man's ability to use language that makes him the dominant species on the planet. That may be. But I think there's another thing that separates us from animals. We aren't afraid of vacuum cleaners. Jeff Stilson
Language is the source of misunderstandings. Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
Languages fit the needs of those who speak them, and if a language lacks a word, it is because it lacks a concept or, better put, a feeling. Victoria Ocampo
High thoughts must have high language. Aristophanes
A different language is a different vision of life. Federico Fellini (1920-1993) Italian film director
