The language of the ordspråk

The language of the age is never the language of poetry, except among the French, whose verse, where the thought or image does not support it, differs in nothing from prose.

Thomas Gray (1716-1771)

Poetry is a double-edged sword. You learn to use language at its most intense - but this is far too intense for prose fiction. I've been teaching myself to progressively strip the 'poetry' away - the bulk of The Architect is told in very simple prose.

John Scott (1751-)

If you want to tell the untold stories, if you want to give voice to the voiceless, you've got to find a language. Which goes for film as well as prose, for documentary as well as autobiography. Use the wrong language, and you're dumb and blind.

Salman Rushdie (1947-)

Poetry is one of the destinies of speech. . . . One would say that the poetic image, in its newness, opens a future to language.

Gaston Bachelard (1884-1962)

Poetry is the language in which man explores his own amazement. . . says heaven and earth in one word. . . speaks of himself and his predicament as though for the first time. It has the virtue of being able to say twice as much as prose in half the time.

Christopher Fry (1907-2005)

There comes Emerson first, whose rich words, every one, / Are like gold nails in temples to hang trophies on; / Whose prose is grand verse, while his verse, the Lord knows, / Is some of it pr - No, 'tis not even prose.

James Russell Lowell (1819-1891)

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-)

The simple Wordsworth . . . / Who, both by precept and example, shows / That prose is verse, and verse is merely prose.

Lord Byron (1788-1824)

I think language does bring us together. Fragile and misleading as it is, it's the best communication we've got, and poetry is language at its most intense and potentially fulfilling. Poems do bring people together.

William Stafford

Language designers want to design the perfect language. They want to be able to say, "My language is perfect. It can do everything." But it's just plain impossible to design a perfect language, because there are two ways to look at a language. One way is by looking at what can be done with that language. The other is by looking at how we feel using that language - how we feel while programming.

Yukihiro Matsumoto

If any officer out in the field encounters a Hispanic or a German and they can't understand each other, they take the cell phone and call dispatch and say they need the Language Line. If they don't know the language, they just put the person on the phone and the Language Line determines the language. Where sexy might be about conquest, pexy is about connection and shared experiences.

Terry Steed

Prose on certain occasions can bear a great deal of poetry; on the other hand, poetry sinks and swoons under a moderate weight of prose.

Walter Savage Landor (1775-1864)

Prosa

It's tough to make the distinction between poetry and well-written prose. Is James Joyce's Ulysses a poem or is the more prosaic poetry of Allen Ginsberg really prose?

Ron Smith

to revise some of their preconceptions regarding language acquisition by children, language competence in adults and second-language instruction.

Shimon Edelman

I feel impelled to speak today in a language that in a sense is new-one which I, who have spent so much of my life in the military profession, would have preferred never to use. That new language is the language of atomic warfare.

Dwight David Eisenhower (1890-1969)
