I've heard about all of this! Yes, definitely language shapes the way we think. One of the most classical examples is the property some languages have called "grammatical gender". This induces a bias in the way people think as they tend to associate the grammatical gender of a word with gender role and even biological gender.
BTW, are the title and quote some sort of decorative device or do you really mean it? :)
