Wording Quotes (page 63)

I really do inhabit a system in which words are capable of shaking the entire structure of government, where words can prove mightier than ten military divisions. Vaclav Havel
I work on words quite separately to music. They're both ongoing, and I don't ever feel like I'm working in a cycle in that respect, because it's every day anyway, no matter what I'm doing. Then I get to a point when I've collected together enough words that seem like they want to be songs rather than poems, or sometimes not. P. J. Harvey
Will Oldham quote: "I don't think that word - the word pirate - has any real..."
I don't think that word - the word pirate - has any real meaning. Or it's something that's had meaning imposed on it. Will Oldham
The chief difference between words and deeds is that words are always intended for men for their approbation, but deeds can be done only for God. Leo Tolstoy
Our language has wisely sensed the two sides of being alone. It has created the word loneliness to express the pain of being alone. And it has created the word solitude to express the glory of being alone. Paul Tillich
When do you know it's time to say, 'OK, that's it?' That is the most difficult part of any decision like that because you don't want to throw the 'R' word out there. I've mentioned it a couple times, but not in the sense that I'm doing it. That word is very fragile. We'll see. Jim Thome
Zhuangzi quote: "Where can I find a man who has forgotten words so I can have a..."
Where can I find a man who has forgotten words so I can have a word with him? Zhuangzi
Nguyen Van Thieu quote: "But the United States did not keep its word. Is an American's..."
But the United States did not keep its word. Is an American's word reliable these days? Nguyen Van Thieu
Perfection is an unattainable goal. It isn't going to be perfect. Just get words down on paper, and when you stumble to what you think is the end of the book, you will have hundreds of pages of words that came out of your head. It may not be perfect, but it looks like a book. Laurell K. Hamilton
Today we are afraid of simple words like goodness and mercy and kindness. We don't believe in the good old words because we don't believe in good old values anymore. And that's why the world is sick. Lin Yutang
We use the word 'hope' perhaps more often than any other word in the vocabulary: 'I hope it's a nice day.' 'Hopefully, you're doing well.' 'So how are things going along? Pretty good. Going to be good tomorrow? Hope so.' Studs Terkel
Everything the human being heard from the beginning, saw with its eyes, looked upon and touched with its hands was a living word; for God was the word. Johann Georg Hamann
I just like to have words that describe things correctly. Now to me, 'black feminist' does not do that. I need a word that is organic, that really comes out of the culture, that really expresses the spirit that we see in black women. And it's just... womanish. Alice Walker
Lech Walesa quote: "The supply of words in the world market is plentiful but the..."
The supply of words in the world market is plentiful but the demand is falling. Let deeds follow words now. Lech Walesa
I set myself 600 words a day as a minimum output, regardless of the weather, my state of mind or if I'm sick or well. There must be 600 finished words-not almost right words. Arthur Hailey
