It symbolizes the power of words, communication, and expression. Throughout history, the tongue has been a metaphor for the influence of language, capable of building bridges or creating divides. This duality makes it a fascinating subject for reflection and introspection. People are drawn to quotes about the tongue because they encapsulate the profound impact of our words and the responsibility that comes with them. Whether it's the gentle encouragement of a kind word or the sharp sting of a careless remark, the tongue wields a power that resonates deeply with our human experience. Quotes on this topic often serve as reminders of the importance of mindful communication and the potential for words to inspire, heal, or harm. In a world where communication is key, understanding the significance of the tongue and its metaphorical implications can lead to more thoughtful interactions and a deeper appreciation for the art of conversation.",{"quotes":11,"pagination":173},[12,39,62,77,90,105,120,134,147,160],{"id":13,"quote_text":14,"author_id":15,"source_id":16,"has_image":17,"author":18,"source":24,"quote_tag":25,"commentary":23},2818915,"Economists who speak the English tongue are strangely intimidated by mathematical symbols.",199010,5,false,{"id":15,"author_name":19,"slug":20,"author_name_first_letter":21,"article_count":22,"image_url":23},"Al Nichol","al-nichol","A",1,null,{},[26,31,36],{"id":27,"tag":28},5804534,{"id":29,"tag_name":30},79,"economics",{"id":32,"tag":33},5804527,{"id":34,"tag_name":35},3401,"speak",{"id":37,"tag":38},5804524,{"id":5,"tag_name":6},{"id":40,"quote_text":41,"author_id":42,"source_id":16,"has_image":17,"author":43,"source":47,"quote_tag":48,"commentary":23},2815553,"The limb that a person most needs to purify is his tongue.",198775,{"id":42,"author_name":44,"slug":45,"author_name_first_letter":21,"article_count":46,"image_url":23},"Abu Nu`aym","abu-nuaym",6,{},[49,54,57],{"id":50,"tag":51},5794800,{"id":52,"tag_name":53},2873,"needs",{"id":55,"tag":56},5794807,{"id":5,"tag_name":6},{"id":58,"tag":59},5794815,{"id":60,"tag_name":61},19379,"limbs",{"id":63,"quote_text":64,"author_id":65,"source_id":66,"has_image":17,"author":67,"source":72,"quote_tag":73,"commentary":23},2811884,"The microspeed of the tongue ought to be always slightly less than the microspeed of the thoughts and certainly not ever the reverse.",959,4,{"id":65,"author_name":68,"slug":69,"author_name_first_letter":70,"article_count":71,"image_url":23},"Yevgeny Zamyatin","yevgeny-zamyatin","Y",242,{},[74],{"id":75,"tag":76},5786964,{"id":5,"tag_name":6},{"id":78,"quote_text":79,"author_id":80,"source_id":66,"has_image":17,"author":81,"source":85,"quote_tag":86,"commentary":23},2788423,"I'd rather clean all the bathrooms in Grand Central Station with my tongue than spend one more minute with you.",21009,{"id":80,"author_name":82,"slug":83,"author_name_first_letter":21,"article_count":84,"image_url":23},"Al Yankovic","al-yankovic",245,{},[87],{"id":88,"tag":89},5763803,{"id":5,"tag_name":6},{"id":91,"quote_text":92,"author_id":93,"source_id":66,"has_image":17,"author":94,"source":100,"quote_tag":101,"commentary":23},2782017,"Language is wine upon the lips.",68,{"id":93,"author_name":95,"slug":96,"author_name_first_letter":97,"article_count":98,"image_url":99},"Virginia Woolf","virginia-woolf","V",1646,"/images/author/Virginia_Woolf.png",{},[102],{"id":103,"tag":104},5757479,{"id":5,"tag_name":6},{"id":106,"quote_text":107,"author_id":108,"source_id":66,"has_image":17,"author":109,"source":114,"quote_tag":115,"commentary":119},2708989,"Be obscure clearly!

White's essay \"Some Writers I Know,\" first published in 1948 in the _Harper's Bazaar_. At this time in his life, White was an established writer, having published several books and essays, yet still grappling with the complexities of creative expression and the role of the writer in society.\n\n**The Hidden Insight**\nOn the surface, the quote appears to be an oxymoronic instruction to be both obscure and clear. However, upon closer examination, it reveals a nuanced tension between the desire for artistic freedom and the need for effective communication. White is suggesting that true creativity lies in embracing the paradox of being both unconventional and accessible, a balance that requires a deep understanding of one's audience and the power of language.\n\n**How to Use This**\nTo apply this mindset, consider embracing the tension between experimentation and clarity in your own creative work. By acknowledging and working within this paradox, you can cultivate a unique voice that resonates with your audience while still pushing the boundaries of what is possible.",{"id":121,"quote_text":122,"author_id":123,"source_id":66,"has_image":17,"author":124,"source":129,"quote_tag":130,"commentary":23},2531711,"What the tongue has promised, the body must submit to.",9965,{"id":123,"author_name":125,"slug":126,"author_name_first_letter":127,"article_count":128,"image_url":23},"Rex Stout","rex-stout","R",228,{},[131],{"id":132,"tag":133},5511171,{"id":5,"tag_name":6},{"id":135,"quote_text":136,"author_id":137,"source_id":66,"has_image":17,"author":138,"source":142,"quote_tag":143,"commentary":23},2530811,"The natural habitat of the tongue is the left cheek.",95572,{"id":137,"author_name":139,"slug":140,"author_name_first_letter":127,"article_count":141,"image_url":23},"Red Smith","red-smith",35,{},[144],{"id":145,"tag":146},5510291,{"id":5,"tag_name":6},{"id":148,"quote_text":149,"author_id":150,"source_id":66,"has_image":17,"author":151,"source":155,"quote_tag":156,"commentary":23},2529193,"Drizzt had always suspected it, but now it was confirmed, that \"welcome\" was his favortie word in the Common Tongue, and a word, he understood with no equivalent in the language of the drow.",3175,{"id":150,"author_name":152,"slug":153,"author_name_first_letter":127,"article_count":154,"image_url":23},"R.
