Les Écrivains

I came across this quote while studying French today. I thought it was beautiful and wanted to share it with you all. Enjoy!

« Une langue ne vit et ne prospère que par des écrivains, des conteurs, des poètes  - tous ouvriers du mot -  la plient à leur volonté créatrice, la montrent dans tous ses états, la font penser, rire, rêver, agir.»
 
It looks and sounds way better in French, but here is rough translation: "A language lives and prospers only by writers, storytellers, and poets - all workers of the word - the bend of their creative will, they show in all their states, suggest, laugh, dream, act."
