“Language is often changed by writers.”
Acceptance Speech for the Margaret Edwards Award (1998)
Context: Language is often changed by writers. We speak English today because Chaucer chose to write in the language of the common people, rather than the Latin or French used by those who were educated. James Joyce had an almost equally profound effect on language when he wrote about the inner self, rather than the outer self.
“Changes in language often reflect the changing values of a culture.”
“he threw up his hands
and wrote the Universe dont exist
and died to prove it”

“Stretching his hand up to reach the stars, too often man forgets the flowers at his feet.”
