L'accent est l'âme du discours.

Accent is the soul of language; it gives to it both feeling and truth.

Her voice was completely English. For some reason I had expected a foreign accent; but I could place this exactly. It was my own; product of boarding school, university, the accent of what a sociologist once called the Dominant Hundred Thousand.
John Fowles
Un bon croquis vaut mieux qu'un long discours.
Napoleon Bonaparte
La raillerie est un discours en faveur de son esprit contre son bon naturel.
Charles de Montesquieu
I came here and realized how truly limited my English was, and it was very scary. I soon realized it wasn't going to be hard to learn — it was going to be nearly impossible. My accent was horrible. In Mexico, nobody says, "You speak English with a good accent." You either speak English or you don't: As long as you can communicate, no one cares. But the word accent became such a big word in my life. And they thought I was crazy in Mexico when I said, "I'm going to Hollywood." Nobody thought I could make it.
