The most dangerous word in any human tongue is the word for brother. It's inflammatory.
Tennessee Williams
They may not use the word better. But they certainly believe that they'll go to heaven and Jews will not.
Neale Donald Walsch
The faster the word sticks to the thought, the more beautiful is the effect.
Gustave Flaubert
The word experience is like a shrapnel shell, and bursts into a thousand meanings.
George Santayana
The art which we may call generally art of the wayside, as opposed to that which is the business of men's lives, is, in the best sense of the word, Grotesque.
John Ruskin
The higher a man stands, the more the word vulgar becomes unintelligible to him.
John Ruskin
You hesitate to stab me with a word, and know not - silence is the sharper sword.
Samuel Johnson
If a man suffers ill, let it be without shame; for this is the only profit when we are dead. You will never say a good word about deeds that are evil and disgraceful.
Aeschylus
For hostile word let hostile word be paid.
Aeschylus
The word was enough. It ran like fire along the line, from man to man, and rose into a shout, with which they sprang forward upon the enemy, now not 30 yards away.
Joshua Chamberlain
To say the word Romanticism is to say modern art - that is, intimacy, spirituality, color, aspiration towards the infinite, expressed by every means available to the arts.
Charles Baudelaire
I had pro offers from the Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers, who were pretty hard up for linemen in those days. If I had gone into professional football the name Jerry Ford might have been a household word today.
Gerald R. Ford
Lovers have a way of using this word, nothing, which implies exactly the opposite.
Honore de Balzac
Metaphors are dangerous. Love begins with a metaphor. Which is to say, love begins at the point when a woman enters her first word into our poetic memory.
Milan Kundera
I wonder what the most intelligent thing ever said was that started with the word 'dude.' 'Dude, these are isotopes.' 'Dude, we removed your kidney. You're gonna be fine.' 'Dude, I am so stoked to win this Nobel Prize. I just wanna thank Kevin, and Turtle, and all my homies.'
Demetri Martin
I was not content to believe in a personal devil and serve him, in the ordinary sense of the word. I wanted to get hold of him personally and become his chief of staff.
Aleister Crowley
A word to the wise is not sufficient if it doesn't make sense.
James Thurber
Never use a big word when a little filthy one will do.
Johnny Carson
The artist is the confidant of nature, flowers carry on dialogues with him through the graceful bending of their stems and the harmoniously tinted nuances of their blossoms. Every flower has a cordial word which nature directs towards him.
Auguste Rodin
I got this idea of doing a really serious big work-it would be precisely like a novel, with a single difference: Every word of it would be true from beginning to end.
Truman Capote
