Word Quotes

Poetry is the language in which man explores his own amazement... says heaven and earth in one word... speaks of himself and his predicament as though for the first time Picture Quote #1

The exact sciences also start from the assumption that in the end it will always be possible to understand nature, even in every new field of experience, but that we may make no a priori assumptions about the meaning of the word understand Picture Quote #1

Touch not the flute when drums are sounding around; when fools have the word, the wise will be silent Picture Quote #1

Don’t be afraid of showing affection. Be warm and tender, thoughtful and affectionate. Men are more helped by sympathy than by service. Love is more than money, and a kind word will give more pleasure than a present Picture Quote #1

The voice of protest, of warning, of appeal is never more needed than when the clamor of fife and drum, echoed by the press and too often by the pulpit, is bidding all men fall in and keep step and obey in silence the tyrannous word of command. Then, more than ever, it is the duty of the good citizen not to be silent Picture Quote #1

I am not ashamed to use the word class. I will also plead guilty to another charge. The charge is that people belonging to my class think they’re better than other people. You’re damn right we’re better. We’re better because we do not shirk our obligations either to ourselves or to others... we live by our lights, we die by our lights, and whoever the high gods may be, we’ll look them in the eye without apology Picture Quote #1

Now is the operative word. Everything you put in your way is just a method of putting off the hour when you could actually be doing your dream Picture Quote #1

Pedantry, in the common acceptation of the word, means an absurd ostentation of learning, and stiffness of phraseology, proceeding from a misguided knowledge of books and a total ignorance of men Picture Quote #1

Preaching, in the first sense of the word, ceased as soon as ever the gospel was written Picture Quote #1

The trick to writing for people is, you have to be able to turn them on in your head. And know how they’d word something or how they’d inflect it Picture Quote #1

You see a child play, and it is so close to seeing an artist paint, for in play a child says things without uttering a word. You can see how he solves his problems. You can also see what’s wrong. Young children, especially, have enormous creativity, and whatever’s in them rises to the surface in free play Picture Quote #1

Change begins with understanding and understanding begins by identifying oneself with another person: in a word, empathy. The arts enable us to put ourselves in the minds, eyes, ears and hearts of other human beings Picture Quote #1

Am I ambitious? I used to be afraid of that word but now I think ambition is a good thing Picture Quote #1

Writing for the page is only one form of writing for the eye. Wherever solemn inscriptions are put up in public places, there is a sense that the site and the occasion demand a form of writing which goes beyond plain informative prose. Each word is so valued that the letters forming it are seen as objects of solemn beauty Picture Quote #1

Vibrancy is so universally desirable, so totemic in its powers, that even though we aren’t sure what the word means, we know the quality it designates must be cultivated. The vibrant, we believe, is what makes certain cities flourish Picture Quote #1

We have to be very careful about what we say out there to the masses in the entertainment industry because people are listening to every word, and they take it to heart Picture Quote #1

Indolence, of course, is an absolutely crucial part of the creative process: you do not find poets sitting in rows in cavernous word factories, staring at screens. They are rather to be found lolling on the sofa or strolling through the groves, nursing their melancholic temperaments and losing themselves in extended reveries Picture Quote #1

I think stutterers are funny. And I know it’s rude and politically incorrect to laugh at stutterers. But I think it is okay because I know why they’re funny. They make people nervous. People think, when on earth are they going to get the word out, so they start laughing out of their own nervousness Picture Quote #1

I know a lot of cowboys and I’ve done a little work on ranches with cattle, and those people become your friends, and keep their word Picture Quote #1

I think denial’s fascinating. It’s a jokey word, but it really happens, and sometimes in enormous ways Picture Quote #1

I definitely believe in the energy of the set and the energy of the actor, way more than your written word Picture Quote #1

Trust is a big word for me. Loyalty and trust, for me, are everything. It’s the core of what I’m about and what the people around me hopefully are about. It’s a certain thing that gives you a sense of security. It’s the biggest factor in everything I do Picture Quote #1

The truth is, you know, we need our anodynes. You know that word, anodynes? We need that in life some times. A good warm bath can be one for you, or a whatever Picture Quote #1

When it comes to casting, I’ve been so lucky. I’ve worked with unbelievable actors who make me look better than I am and take the written word and make it honest Picture Quote #1

It’s hard to have a friend when your name’s a household word Picture Quote #1

When I need to know the meaning of a word, I look it up in a dictionary Picture Quote #1

I’m no diva but I can be annoying in a recording studio. Of course I try to be a diva in terms of confidence of performance and owning a song but I’ve never behaved like one in terms of the negative connotations of the word Picture Quote #1

In truth, even if they have an imperfect insight into their own methods, I still slightly mistrust writers of fiction who are assured literary critics; it makes me suspect that they favour the word over the world it should describe. Such scribes fall victim too easily to the solecism of equating style with morality Picture Quote #1

Since the age of four, I’ve been exploring what I can do with the written word: everything from championing literacy and youth voice to raising awareness about world hunger Picture Quote #1

In the language of poetry, where every word is weighed, nothing is usual or normal. Not a single stone and not a single cloud above it. Not a single day and not a single night after it. And above all, not a single existence, not anyone’s existence in this world Picture Quote #1
