“Our entire being is fashioned as an instrument of praise. Just as a master violin maker designs an instrument to produce maximum aesthetic results, so God tailor-made our bodies, souls and spirits to work together in consonance to produce pleasing expressions of praise and worship. When we use body language to express praise, that which is internal becomes visible.” MadeSoulUseBodyTogetherSpiritLanguageResultsDesignProduceExpressionMastersWorshipPraiseInstrumentsVisibleInternalsWorking TogetherMakersAestheticMaximumViolinBody LanguageTailorsPraise And WorshipConsonanceBody Soul And Spirit Author:Lamar Boschman

“As the base rhetorician uses language to increase his own power, to produce converts to his own cause, and to create loyal followers of his own person - so the noble rhetorician uses language to wean men away from their inclination to depend on authority, to encourage them to think and speak clearly, and to teach them to be their own masters.” ThinkingMenPersonsUseSpeakLanguageCausesTeachProduceMastersDependsAuthorityIncreaseNobleFollowersLoyalInclination Author:Thomas Szasz
“Of the properties of mathematics, as a language, the most peculiar one is that by playing formal games with an input mathematical text, one can get an output text which seemingly carries new knowledge. The basic examples are furnished by scientific or technological calculations: general laws plus initial conditions produce predictions, often only after time-consuming and computer-aided work. One can say that the input contains an implicit knowledge which is thereby made explicit.” MadeLawGamesLanguageConditionsExampleProduceComputerMathematicsPropertyMathematicalCarriePlusPeculiarFormalTechnologicalPredictionsInitialsConsumingCalculationsInputExplicitOutputImplicitTime ConsumingNew Knowledge Author:IU?.

“Capitalists work hard to produce what consumers want. Artists who work too hard to produce what consumers want are often accused of selling out. Thus, even the languages of capitalism and art conflict: a firm that has 'sold out' has succeeded, but an artist that has 'sold out' has failed.” WantArtHardArtistLanguageProduceHard WorkConflictCapitalismSellingConsumersFirmCapitalistAccusedSelling OutSold Out Author:Alex Tabarrok
“It by no means follows, that because two men utter the same words, they have precisely the same idea which they mean to express: language is inadequate to the variety of ideas which are conceived by different minds, and which, could they be expressed, would produce a new variety of characteristic differences between man and man.” MenMindMeanTwoIdeasDifferentLanguageDifferencesProduceVarietyCharacteristicsInadequateDifferent Minds Author:Fulke Greville, 1st Baron Brooke
“We have good reason to believe that memories of early childhood do not persist in consciousness because of the absence or fragmentary character of language covering this period. Words serve as fixatives for mental images. . . . Even at the end of the second year of life when word tags exist for a number of objects in the child's life, these words are discrete and do not yet bind together the parts of an experience or organize them in a way that can produce a coherent memory.” WayYearsBelieveChildrenEndsReasonCharacterTogetherLanguageMemoriesNumbersConsciousnessChildhoodObjectsProducePeriodsAbsencePersistOrganizeCoveringTagEarly ChildhoodYears Of LifeDiscrete Book:The Magic Years: Understanding and Handling the Problems of Early Childhood Source: The Magic Years: Understanding and Handling the Problems of Early Childhood

“I think that when you're writing plays, and I think it's also true with novels, it helps to have an ear for the music of language, for what we call poetry, for the sound effects and the way that the sound can produce sensual feeling at odds with or consonant with the content of the work. Your work is also gorgeous writing. It's very unfortunate when you open a novel that everybody's loving and it's just, you know, an excruciatingly bad sentence.” ThinkingKnowsWayWritingPlayHelpingFeelingsLanguageSoundNovelEffectsProduceEarsSentencesSensualOddsUnfortunateGorgeousConsonantsSound Effects Author:Tony Kushner
