A word is not a crystal, transparent and unchanged; it is the skin of a living thought and may vary greatly in color and content according to the circumstances and time in which it is used.
Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.
Carve every word before you let it fall.
Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.
The freelance writer is a man who is paid per piece or per word or perhaps.
Robert Benchley
Unjust. How many times I've used that word, scolded myself with it. All I mean by it now is that I don't have the final courage to say that I refuse to preside over violations against myself, and to hell with justice.
Lillian Hellman
What a word is truth. Slippery, tricky, unreliable. I tried in these books to tell the truth.
Lillian Hellman
Once a word has been allowed to escape, it cannot be recalled.
Horace
A word once uttered can never be recalled.
Horace
A word, once sent abroad, flies irrevocably.
Horace
Man only plays when in the full meaning of the word he is a man, and he is only completely a man when he plays.
Friedrich Schiller
And I'm here to tell you, the reaction that I'm getting around the country, people are sick and tired of this word in Washington, compromise. This is why nothing ever gets done.
Herman Cain
India of the ages is not dead nor has she spoken her last creative word; she lives and has still something to do for herself and the human peoples.
Sri Aurobindo
Who knows what true loneliness is - not the conventional word but the naked terror? To the lonely themselves it wears a mask. The most miserable outcast hugs some memory or some illusion.
Joseph Conrad
He who wants to persuade should put his trust not in the right argument, but in the right word. The power of sound has always been greater than the power of sense.
Joseph Conrad
A word carries far, very far, deals destruction through time as the bullets go flying through space.
Joseph Conrad
For me, however, that beloved, glowing little word happiness has become associated with everything I have felt since childhood upon hearing the sound of the word itself.
Herman Hesse
IF is a very long word in Formula One; in fact, IF is F1 spelled backwards.
Murray Walker
Temper your enjoyments with prudence, lest there be written on your heart that fearful word "satiety."
Francis Quarles
For it pleased God, after he had made all things by the word of his power, to create man after his own image.
George Whitefield
You see, my brethren, my heart is full; I could almost say it is too big to speak, and yet too big to be silent, without dropping a word to you.
George Whitefield
I realize now that I was a feminist and the minute I heard the word I certainly knew it meant me, but at that time I don't think we had the label yet. But there's no doubt about it that I was born a feminist.
Marlo Thomas
