Language is the most extraordinary invention in the history of humanity, the one which came before everything and which makes it possible to share everything.

A common language is a first step towards communication across cultural boundaries.

Communication will bring understanding and understanding will cause harmonious mutual relationships which can establish peace and stability.

We see and hear and otherwise experience very largely as we do because the language habits of our community predispose certain choices of interpretation.

Communication is a skill that you can learn. It's like riding a bicycle or typing. If you're willing to work at it, you can rapidly improve the quality of evry part of your life.

Without a possibility of change in meanings human communication could not perform its present functions.

Communication - the human connection - is the key to personal and career success.

Scientists attach great importance to the human capacity for spoken language. But we also have a parallel track of nonverbal communication, which may reveal more than our carefully chosen words, and sometimes be at odds with them.

Communication is always important, but it's a separate type of language in football.

Any friendship or relationship is about a language.

Language is a virus from outer space.

Humans are a social species more than any other, and in order to build a community, which for some reason humans have to do in order to live, we have to solve the communication problem. Language is the tool that was invented to solve that problem.

The knowledge of languages was very useful. I have a university degree in foreign languages and literature.

Language is an inadequate form of communication. If you've picked up an instrument, it's because you don't feel you are communicating sufficiently.

Working with language requires beauty for me.

Language is a window into human nature, but it is also a fistula, an open wound through which we're exposed to an infectious world.

Language leads a double life - and so does the novelist. You chat with family and friends, you attend to your correspondence, you consult menus and shopping lists, you observe road signs, and so on. Then you enter your study, where language exists in quite another form - as the stuff of patterned artifice.

Language is the armory of the human mind, and at once contains the trophies of its past and the weapons of its future conquests.

Language is just a communication tool; it is the content that decides the fate of a film.

A special kind of beauty exists which is born in language, of language, and for language.

I consider social skills a bit like learning a language. I've been practising it for so long over so many years I've almost lost my accent.

Nonverbal communication forms a social language that is in many ways richer and more fundamental than our words.

When it comes to personal communication, words are all we've got. It is the simple use of language that makes us human beings.

Millions of children all over the world live in silence and face communication barriers - and, particularly, access to education.

Human beings do not live in the objective world alone, nor alone in the world of social activity as ordinarily understood, but are very much at the mercy of the particular language which has become the medium of expression for their society.

Music is the soul of language.

'Arrival' talks very little about language and how to precisely dissect a foreign language. It's more a film on intuition and communication by intuition, the language of intuition.

Communication is the channel through which life is conveyed, through which ideas and the energy behind them are transmitted, and through which the mind, body, and spirit are merged into a force for right action.

The art of communication is the language of leadership.

My first languages are German and Spanish because I was brought up by a Spanish mother and a German father, so I always spoke both languages at home. I'm very thankful that I was brought up in a bilingual house.

My dad taught me that language was a powerful tool.

Communication - the human connection - is the key to personal and career success.

Bilingualism lets you have your cake and eat it. The new language opens the doors to the best jobs in society; the old language allows you to keep your sense of 'who you are.' It preserves your identity. With two languages, you have the best of both worlds.

A different language is a different vision of life.

English is necessary as at present original works of science are in English. I believe that in two decades times original works of science will start coming out in our languages. Then we can move over like the Japanese.

On the other hand, in a society whose communication component is becoming more prominent day by day, both as a reality and as an issue, it is clear that language assumes a new importance.

No one who set out to design a form of communication would ever end up with anything like English, Mandarin, or any of the more than six thousand languages spoken today.

Realistically, English is a universal language; it's the number one language for music and for communicating with the rest of the world.

English is the medium of communication for people all over India.

Intelligence, knowledge or experience are important and might get you a job, but strong communication skills are what will get you promoted.

Why do only the Latin script when Nokia has a billion consumers? Typography is the bedrock of communication; it can really connect people.

Language has no independent existence apart from the people who use it. It is not an end in itself; it is a means to an end of understanding who you are and what society is like.

It is quite an illusion to imagine that one adjusts to reality essentially without the use of language and that language is merely an incidental means of solving specific problems of communication or reflection.

Well, my first languages are German and Spanish because I was brought up by a Spanish mother and a German father, so I always spoke both languages at home. I'm very thankful that I was brought up in a bilingual house.
