Quotes by Guy Deutscher
Gender thus provides our second example of how the mother tongue influences thought.
When one hears about acts of extraordinary bravery in combat, it is usually a sign that the battle has not been going terribly well. For when wars unfold according to plan and one’s own side is winning, acts of exceptional individual heroism are rarely called for. Bravery is required mostly by the desperate side.
Noam Chomsky has famously argued that a Martian scientist would conclude that all earthlings speak dialects of the same language.
Why should color, of all things, be at the center of so much crossfire? Perhaps because in meddling with such a deep and seemingly instinctive area of perception, culture camouflages itself as nature more successfully there than in any other area of language.

Language is mankind’s greatest invention – except, of course, that it was never invented.
