about this feature
Each day Electricka and The Muse Of Language Arts jointly
present a quotation of note.
Most of these quotations presented here are not about the language arts;
many are not about the arts at all. Most have not been coined by
authors, professional writers, or others specializing in language or
linguistics. Some of these quotations are not even properly formed
from a grammatical or semantic point of view. But all of the
quotations in this feature have this in common: they all consist of
thoughts, ideas, and information expressed in a language. Thus they
are offered to you here under the auspices of The Muse Of Language
Arts.
All of the quotations that appear here have been
submitted by Electricka's visitors or by ETAF Staff. Some have been
coined by Electricka's visitors, but the majority have been devised by
third parties having no direct contact with Electricka.
When known, a quotation's author and the circumstances of
its birth are stated. But many quotations are anonymous and are part of our universal cultural
heritage. In cases like these, a quotation's source or
circumstances of birth may be obscure, lost, or totally forgotten.
Quotations play a vital role in society in virtually all cultures around
the world. Many of those quoted here have become idioms or accepted social
metaphors for expressing an idea; they have become ingrained in our
languages and mindsets. Many of them have made so great an impact on us
individually or culturally, they have attained the status of a traditional
saying, one that appears in everyday usage and that is familiar to everyone.
