“Learning another language is like becoming another person.”

“The point is not knowing another person, or learning to love another person. The point is simply this: how tender can we bear to be?”

“Learn a language of another country and then you can go to that country: a place where the problems of your family will not follow. A language they do not speak.”

“My mother taught me that an important word in any language is while. while one thing is happening so is another. While someone is in darkness another is in daylight.While person dies another is born.”

“In our country for all her greatness there is one thing she cannot do and that is translate a person wholly out of one class into another. Perfect translation from one language into another is impossible. Class is the British language.”

“The kind of person that thanks another person never survives. Have you learned nothing?”
