Funny quote about English...

[aisare]

"We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary." -- *Update* This quote is NOT by Booker T. Washington (I thought it was he who said this), but by James D. Nicoll

That quote is actually by James D. Nicoll, as is verified by many sources on the web, including Wikipedia.
I only know this b/c I recently put this same quote up on my project blog: Esoterica
