Words Quotes

O, they have lived long on the alms basket of words. I marvel thy master hath not eaten thee for a word; for thou art not so long by the head as honorificabilitudinitatibus. Thou art easier swallowed than a flapdragon Picture Quote #1

Words are words; I never yet did hear, that the bruis'd heart was pierced through the ear Picture Quote #1

I love to compare different time frames. Poetry can evoke the time of the subject. By a very careful choice of words you can evoke an era, completely throw the poem into a different time scale Picture Quote #1

Dumb jewels often, in their silent kind, more than quick words, do move a woman's mind Picture Quote #1

They ended every speech with the word hiro, which means: like I said. Thus each man took responsibility for intruding into the inarticulate murmur of the spheres. To hiro they added the word koue, a cry of joy or distress, according to whether it was sung or howled. Thus they essayed to piece the mysterious curtain which hangs between all talking men: at the end of every utterance a man stepped back, so to speak, and attempted to interpret his words to the listener, attempted to subvert the beguiling intellect with the noise of true emotion Picture Quote #1

I heard of a man who says words so beautifully that if he only speaks their name women give themselves to him. If I am dumb beside your body while silence blossoms like tumors on our lips it is because I hear a man climb stairs and clear his throat outside our door Picture Quote #1

I like the way words go together and I like the gamesmanship of writing poetry. It is such a challenge Picture Quote #1

Don't ever discount the wonder of your tears. They can be healing waters and a stream of joy. Sometimes they are the best words the heart can speak Picture Quote #1

Poetry is not only a set of words which are chosen to relate to each other; it is something which goes much further than that to provide a glimpse of our vision of the world Picture Quote #1

Faithfulness to the past can be a kind of death above ground. Writing of the past is a resurrection; the past then lives in your words and you are free Picture Quote #1

Don't want to be near you for the thoughts we share but the words we never have to speak Picture Quote #1

To have family behind you who love you more than words can say gives you so much confidence, because it allows you to go off and be who you want to be Picture Quote #1

We have a president who apparently loves instability and revolution, and that is the antithesis of those two words, social security Picture Quote #1

Start early and work hard. A writer's apprenticeship usually involves writing a million words (which are then discarded) before he's almost ready to begin. That takes a while Picture Quote #1

Memory is a fascinating trickster. Words and images have enormous power and can easily displace actual experience over the years Picture Quote #1

Writing poetry makes you intensely conscious of how words sound, both aloud and inside the head of the reader. You learn the weight of words and how they sound to the ear Picture Quote #1

Vietnam is often called our only uncensored war, but that only means that the government wasn't vetting the pictures and words Picture Quote #1

War is big and there are only so many reporters and only so many places for their words and images to appear. Choices are made constantly Picture Quote #1

Let us forget such words, and all they mean, as hatred, bitterness and rancor, greed, intolerance, bigotry; let us renew our faith and pledge to man, his right to be himself, and free Picture Quote #1

I think I should have loved you presently, and given you in earnest words I flung in jest Picture Quote #1

Words. Words. I play with words, hoping that some combination, even a chance combination, will say what I want Picture Quote #1

For women like me, integrity isn't chastity, it isn't fidelity, it isn't any of the old words. Integrity is the orgasm. That is something I haven't any control over Picture Quote #1

I don't know why I still find it so hard to accept that words are faulty and by their very nature innacurate Picture Quote #1

Every recreant who proved his timidity in the hour of danger, was afterwards boldest in words and tongue Picture Quote #1

I've always disliked words like inspiration. Writing is probably like a scientist thinking about some scientific problem, or an engineer about an engineering problem Picture Quote #1

He that uses his words loosely and unsteadily will either not be minded or not understood Picture Quote #1

We should have a great many fewer disputes in the world if words were taken for what they are, the signs of our ideas only, and not for things themselves Picture Quote #1

Words, in their primary or immediate signification, stand for nothing but the ideas in the mind of him who uses them Picture Quote #1

Passionate words or blows from the tutor fill the child's mind with terror and affrightment, which immediately takes it wholly up and leaves no room for other impressions Picture Quote #1

I have a notebook with me all the time, and I begin scribbling a few words. When things are going well, the walk does not get anywhere; I finally just stop and write Picture Quote #1
