Robert Benchley

Christopher Dawson
" The greatest obstacle to international understanding is the barrier of language. "

Christopher Dawson
" If you have a craftsman's command of the language and basic writing techniques you'll be able to write - as long as you know what you want to say. "

Jeffery Deaver
" The most heroic word in all languages is revolution. "

Eugene V Debs
" Painting is by nature a luminous language. "
