Abby’s Notes & Highlights

Book cover for The Language Game: How Improvisation Created Language and Changed the World

The Language Game: How Improvisation Created Language and Changed the World by Morten H. Christiansen

6 highlights

“My mother was the most beautiful woman in the world. I say that not because I am her daughter, and not because she was tall and graceful, with hair like clouded sunlight. I say it because she was strong. Perhaps it is my Darre heritage, but strength has always been the marker of beauty in my eyes.”
― N.K. Jemisin, The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms
