I found one of the papers I turned in for Speech my senior year just moments ago. It was supposedly an exercise on page 49. I guess I had to find five quotations relative to english and speech. The following are the quotations I found:

"Language shapes the way we think, and determines what we can think about."

-Benjamin Lee Whorf

"Language is the means of getting an idea from my brain into yours without surgery."

-Mark Amidon

"When I get to read great literature, speeches, great drama, or sermons, I feel that the human mind has not achieved anything greater than the ability to share feelings and thoughts through language."

-James Earl Jones

"What is the shortest word in the english language containing the letters: abcdef?

Answer: Feedback. Don't forget feedback is one of the essential elements of good communication."

-Anon.

"Language...has created the word 'lonliness' to express the pain of being alone. And it has cretaed the word 'solitude' to express the glory of being alone."

-Paul Tillich.

All were true, which is why I turned them all in, and received a 15/15.
