“Typography is the craft of endowing human language with a durable visual form.”
― Robert Bringhurst, The Elements of Typographic Style
― Robert Bringhurst, The Elements of Typographic Style
“Literature in the written sense represents the triumph of language over writing: the subversion of writing for purposes that have little or nothing to do with social and economic control.”
― Robert Bringhurst, The Solid Form of Language: An Essay on Writing and Meaning
― Robert Bringhurst, The Solid Form of Language: An Essay on Writing and Meaning
“If language is lost, humanity is lost. If writing is lost, certain kinds of civilization and society are lost, but many other kinds remain - and there is no reason to think that those alternatives are inferior.”
