Word Quotes (page 124)

We carry about us the burden of what thousands of people have said and the memories of all our misfortunes. To abandon all that is to be alone, and the mind that is alone is not only innocent but young -- not in time or age, but young, innocent, alive at whatever age -- and only such a mind can see that which is truth and that which is not measurable by words. Jiddu Krishnamurti
Before I send him up in the hills I'm going to give him a magic word."That's a good idea," said the Professor. "Sometimes they work wonders. Heywood Broun
E. B. White quote: "If you don't know how to pronounce a word, say it loud!"..."

In other words to live Eternal Life in the full and final sense is to be with God as Christ is with him, and with each other as Christ is with us. Frederick Buechner
People in coats and ties were milling around the Talley gallery, and on the wall were the minimally rendered still lifes by Giorgio Morandi, most of them no bigger than a tea tray. Their thin browns, ashy grays, and muted blues made people speak softly to one another, as if a shouted word might curdle one of the paintings and ruin it. Bottles, carafes, and ceramic whatnots sat in his paintings like small animals huddling for warmth, and these shy pictures could easily hang next to a Picasso... Steve Martin
Herman Melville quote: "For whatever is truly wondrous and fearful in man, never yet..."

Neil Gaiman quote: "Talk is free but the wise man chooses when to spend his words."
Talk is free but the wise man chooses when to spend his words. Neil Gaiman
A man should never be ashamed to own that he has been in the wrong, which is but saying in other words that he is wiser today than he was yesterday. Alexander Pope
For the Word of God is not received by faith if it flits about in the top of the brain, but when it takes root in the depth of the heart . . . the heart's distrust is greater than the mind's blindness. It is harder for the heart to be furnished with assurance [of God's love] than for the mind to be endowed with thought. John Calvin
So I find words I never thought to speak. In streets I never thought I should revisit. When I left my body on a distant shore. T. S. Eliot
The foremost watchman on the peak announces his news. It is the truest word ever spoken, and the phrase will be th fittest, most musical, and the unerring voice of the world for that time. Ralph Waldo Emerson
I naively believe that self-love is 80 percent of the solution, that it helps beyond words to take yourself through the day as you would with your most beloved mental-patient relative, with great humor and lots of small treats. Anne Lamott
Surely it is an odd way to spend your life - sitting alone in a room with a pen in your hand, hour after hour, day after day, year after year, struggling to put words on pieces of paper in order to give birth to what does not exist, except in your head. Why on earth would anyone want to do such a thing? The only answer I have ever been able to come up with is: because you have to, because you have no choice. Paul Auster
Baltasar Gracian quote: "A synonym is a word you use when you can't spell the other one."
A synonym is a word you use when you can't spell the other one. Baltasar Gracian
