I love the English language, the colors of it, the many, many nuances, the different influences. I find German stilted, in a way, by comparison.

Englisches Zitat von F. Murray Abraham als Bild

Suddenly I was the man who got the part that every actor in the English language was trying to get. I was really scared. I had talked the talk, and now I had to walk the walk. For three days, I couldn't answer the phone.

F. Murray Abraham

I think the most dangerous word in the English language is 'should.' 'I should have done this.' Or 'I should do that.' 'Should' implies responsibility. It connotes demand. Which is just not the case. Life ebbs and flows.

Englishmen learn Christ's law best in English. Moses heard God's law in his own tongue; so did Christ's apostles.

I've made a dog's breakfast of English history, geography, 'King Lear,' and the English language in general.

Englisches Zitat von Ruth Rendell als Bild

Ford Maddox Ford's 'The Good Soldier' is my favourite novel. I first read it in the 1950s and have read it about 20 times since. It's possibly the best-constructed book in the English language.

Englisches Zitat von Kurt Vonnegut als Bild

The feeling about a soldier is, when all is said and done, he wasn't really going to do very much with his life anyway. The example usually is: he wasn't going to compose Beethoven's Fifth.

Kurt Vonnegut

I revise constantly, as I go along and then again after I've finished a first draft. Few of my novels contain a single sentence that closely resembles the sentence I first set down. I just find that I have to keep zapping and zapping the English language until it starts to behave in some way that vaguely matches my intentions.

Michael Cunningham

Summer afternoon, summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language.
