“Do you speak perfectly in your native language? No, and you don’t blame yourself for making mistakes in your native tongue. So why feel bad when you make mistakes while speaking a foreign language?”
Rocket Learning Books, LANGUAGE: HOW TO LEARN ANY LANGUAGE FAST! An Essential But Surprisingly Simple Guide to Learning Foreign Languages in Record Time: fluent, test preparation, ... instruction, learn foreign language Book 1)

Terry Eagleton
“Culture was now largely a matter of how to keep people harmlessly distracted when they were not working.”
Terry Eagleton, The Meaning of Life: A Very Short Introduction

“Learn the Right Words Here’s an interesting fact about the English language: Of the thousands of words in this well-developed language, only about 300 to 400 are normally used. What’s more, these 300 to 400 words make up around 65 % of all written material. The rest of the words are simply not used that commonly. And this is the case in almost all other languages too.”

“How can there be a true History, when we see no man living is able to write truly the History of the last week?’, as Sir Will demands in Thomas Shadwell’s play The Squire of Alsatia (1688)”
Lynda Mugglestone, Dictionaries: A Very Short Introduction

“(‘A clever stratagem or plan intended to deceive or trick’; ‘Smaller; inferior; minor’, the respective definitions in Chambers Concise Dictionary state). Information on spelling is similar, based on evidence rather than opinion. The dictionary as reference book sorts out with ease the unintentional influence of homophones (as in the inadvertent use of baited breath rather than bated breath, of flare when flair was intended, or the different semantic territories of Viking hordes and Viking hoards).”
