My father was a teacher of the Russian language and literature in high school.
Life is a foreign language; all men mispronounce it.
Knowledge has value only insofar as it contributes to the all-round development of the whole nature of man.
I use the language I use to my friends. They wouldn't believe me if I used some high-flown literary language. I want them to believe me.
The knowledge of the ancient languages is mainly a luxury.
The brain is like a muscle. When it is in use we feel very good. Understanding is joyous.
We know so little of the why, what the universe is, what infinity is. The veil around us is very fragile.
After university, I got a job sub-editing and for years I was a literary editor.
If you want to know what's important to a culture, learn their language.
