Our approach was very simple. It was about creating a universal language. A show that will be attractive toward every people coming from all over the world. And that was a big thing.
Guy Laliberte

We are linked by blood, and blood is memory without language.
Joyce Carol Oates

Literature is the expression of a feeling of deprivation, a recourse against a sense of something missing. But the contrary is also true: language is what makes us human. It is a recourse against the meaningless noise and silence of nature and history.
Octavio Paz

Speech happens to not be his language.
Madame de Stael

An art whose medium is language will always show a high degree of critical creativeness, for speech is itself a critique of life: it names, it characterizes, it passes judgment, in that it creates.
Thomas Mann

I see music as one language. If one musical form eats its own tail, it dies. So it needs to be a mongrel, it needs to be hybridised.
Sting

We inhabit a language rather than a country.
Emile M. Cioran

One does not inhabit a country; one inhabits a language. That is our country, our fatherland - and no other.
Emile M. Cioran

Sometimes I try to improve the language, the lines, or the delivery, but I don't ad-lib because I think that makes it really hard for everybody else involved.
Harrison Ford

Good art theory must smell of the studio, although its language should differ from the household talk of painters and sculptors.
Rudolf Arnheim

Whoever realizes that the six senses aren't real, that the five aggregates are fictions, that no such things can be located anywhere in the body, understands the language of Buddhas.
Bodhidharma

I get along with all the women singers, but especially Dolly Parton. We talk the same hillbilly language.
Loretta Lynn

Poetry is the universal language which the heart holds with nature and itself. He who has a contempt for poetry, cannot have much respect for himself, or for anything else.
William Hazlitt

A scholar is like a book written in a dead language. It is not every one that can read in it.
William Hazlitt

Human life is driven forward by its dim apprehension of notions too general for its existing language.
Alfred North Whitehead

Speech is human nature itself, with none of the artificiality of written language.
Alfred North Whitehead

The protean nature of the computer is such that it can act like a machine or like a language to be shaped and exploited.
Alan Kay

I don't see it in terms of changing things, but rather using language and music as weapons for fighting a mainstream media which is predominately right wing, and loyal to the political framework and its corporate interests.
Thom Yorke

I think maybe since there isn't a great deal of access to the mainstream media and people don't understand the language of mainstream media, if you put music out there with lyrics that are loosely political, people absorb some of it and spit it back out.
Thom Yorke

My first language is Gaelic.
