Word Quotes (page 92)

Harry Potter is one boy in a long line of mythical heroes who have reminded the human race that we are so much more than we think we are, so much more powerful than we seem to know. Jesus said that we would someday do even greater works than He; should we not take Him at His word? And should not 'someday' be today? It's time for us to start working miracles, if indeed we have the capacity within us to do so. Marianne Williamson
A human being is primarily a bag for putting food into; the other functions and faculties may be more godlike, but in point of time they come afterwards. A man dies and is buried, and all his words and actions are forgotten, but the food he has eaten lives after him in the sound or rotten bones of his children. I think it could be plausibly argued that changes of diet are more important than changes of dynasty or even of religion....Yet it is curious how seldom the all-importance of food is... George Orwell
Johnny Depp quote: "Music touches us emotionally, where words alone can't."
Music touches us emotionally, where words alone can't. Johnny Depp
H. Rider Haggard quote: "Women love the last blow as well as the last word, and when..."
Women love the last blow as well as the last word, and when they fight for love they are pitiless as a wounded buffalo. H. Rider Haggard
I have not yet spoken my last word about women. I believe that if a woman succeeds in withdrawing from the mass, or rather raising herself from above the mass, she grows ceaselessly and more than a man. Arthur Schopenhauer
Ann Patchett quote: "It's easier to love a woman when you can't understand a word..."
It's easier to love a woman when you can't understand a word she's saying. Ann Patchett
One ought, every day at least, to hear a little song, read a good poem, see a fine picture, and, if it were possible, to speak a few reasonable words. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
There are official searchers, inquisitors. I have seen them in the performance of their function: they always arrive extremely tired from their journeys; they speak of a broken stairway which almost killed them; they talk with the librarian of galleries and stairs; sometimes they pick up the nearest volume and leaf through it, looking for infamous words. Obviously, no one expects to discover anything. Jorge Luis Borges
Book! You lie there; the fact is, you books must know your places. You'll do to give us the bare words and facts, but we come in to supply the thoughts. Herman Melville
John Steinbeck quote: "A man without words is a man without thought."
A man without words is a man without thought. John Steinbeck
Now as to magic. It is surely absurd to hold me “weak” or otherwise because I choose to persist in a study which I decided deliberately four or five years ago to make, next to my poetry, the most important pursuit of my life…If I had not made magic my constant study I could not have written a single word of my Blake book [The Works of William Blake, with Edwin Ellis, 1893], nor would The Countess Kathleen [stage play, 1892] have ever come to exist. The mystical life is the center of all that... William Butler Yeats
Dag Hammarskjold quote: "Friendship needs no words."
Friendship needs no words. Dag Hammarskjold
WHEN reading my present treatise, bear in mind that by "faith" we do not understand merely that which is uttered with the lips, but also that which is apprehended by the soul, the conviction that the object [of belief] is exactly as it is apprehended. If, as regards real or supposed truths, you content yourself with giving utterance to them in words, without apprehending them or believing in them, especially if you do not seek real truth, you have a very easy task as, in fact, you will find... Maimonides
I’ve never thought of writing as the mere arrangement of words on the page but the attempted embodiment of a vision; a complex of emotions; raw experience. The effort of memorable art is to evoke in the reader or spectator emotions appropriate to that effort. Joyce Carol Oates
W. H. Auden quote: "Language is the mother, not the handmaiden, of thought; words..."
Language is the mother, not the handmaiden, of thought; words will tell you things you never thought or felt before. W. H. Auden
