The real being of language is that into which we are taken up when we hear it - what is said.

Language is the blood of the soul into which thoughts run and out of which they grow.

Germans don't speak in a German accent, they just speak German.

Language is an intrinsic part of who we are and what has, for good or evil, happened to us.

The more language is a living operation, the less we are aware of it. Thus it follows from the self-forgetfulness of language that its real being consists in what is said in it.

Some languages expand not only your ability to speak to different people but what you're able to think.

Each language has its own take on the world. That's why a translation can never be absolutely exact, and therefore, when you enter another language and speak with its speakers, you become a slightly different person; you learn a different sort of world.

Language is the dress of thought.

Our language is the reflection of ourselves. A language is an exact reflection of the character and growth of its speakers.
