Words Quotes (page 2)

Words... They're innocent, neutral, precise, standing for this, describing that, meaning the other, so if you look after them you can build bridges across incomprehension and chaos. But when they get their corners knocked off, they're no good any more... I don't think writers are sacred, but words are. They deserve respect. If you get the right ones in the right order, you can nudge the world a little or make a poem which children will speak for you when you're dead. Tom Stoppard
Terry Tempest Williams quote: "Word by word, the language of women so often begins with a..."
Word by word, the language of women so often begins with a whisper. Terry Tempest Williams
Words don't change their shape, they change their meaning, their function...They don't have a meaning of their own any more, they refer to other words that you don't know, that you've never read or heard...you've never seen their shape, but you feel...you suspect...they correspond to...an empty space inside you...or in the universe... Marguerite Duras
Rumi quote: "Words are a pretext. It is the inner bond that draws one..."
Words are a pretext. It is the inner bond that draws one person to another, not words. Rumi
Words got in the way. The things we felt the hardest--like what it was like to have a boy touch you as if you were made of light, or what it meant to be the only person in the room who wasn't noticed--weren't sentences; they were knots in the wood of our bodies, places where our blood flowed backward. If you asked me, not that anyone ever did, the only words worth saying were I'm sorry. Jodi Picoult
Words spoken cannot be recalled, and many a man and many a woman who has spoken a word at once regretted, are far too proud to express that regret. Anthony Trollope
Words were not just words, describing things a person could see. Even if most did not. Maybe they had to know a thing first, to see it. Barbara Kingsolver
Words stand between silence and silence: between the silence of things and the silence of our own being. Between the silence of the world and the silence of God. When we have really met and known the world in silence, words do not separate us from the world nor from other men, nor from God, nor from ourselves because we no longer trust entirely in language to contain reality. Thomas Merton
Jonathan Swift quote: "Words are but wind; and learning is nothing but words; ergo,..."
Words are but wind; and learning is nothing but words; ergo, learning is nothing but wind. Jonathan Swift

Words are also actions, and actions are a kind of words. Ralph Waldo Emerson
William Collins quote: "Words like feminism or democracy scare me. They are words with..."
Words like feminism or democracy scare me. They are words with barnacles on them, and you can't see what's underneath. William Collins
Words are important to me, but a song can work and function and be a good song with words that are fairly standard. But really great lyrics can't rescue a dog of a song. Jarvis Cocker
Elias Canetti quote: "Words are not too old, only people are too old if they use the..."
Words are not too old, only people are too old if they use the same words too frequently. Elias Canetti
