They didn't need the words, if they were willing to be silent long enough to learn to speak without them.
Maggie Stiefvater
I've fixed my feelings into durable wordswhen they could have been spent on tenderness
Jorge Luis Borges
If it judges your conscience, then you are in some way guilty of it by action, words or omission.
Chinonye J. Chidolue
Words mean nothing.
Lynn Raye Harris
You like the comfort, don't ya?You wanna be there... wanna and gonna aren't nigga words so far... you are very bad at judging so far all people will be in prison because of you.... No matter...>!~
Deyth Banger
Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can also hurt me. Stones and sticks break only skin, while words are ghosts that haunt me. Slant and curved the word-swords fall, it pierces and sticks inside me. Bats and bricks may ache through bones, but words can mortify me. Pain from words has left its' scar, on mind and hear that's tender. Cuts and bruises have not healed, it's words that I remember.
Ruby Redfort
Don't allow yourself to be fooled by how "nice" a person appears to be, measure a person's virtuousness by the way in which they treat others with their words and actions .
Miya Yamanouchi
Some days I wonder how I'll get through a whole lifetime of thinking. A life that's just words, words, words, shuffling around in my head. Was I born that way?
Rachel Klein
Let us speak less and say more. ( “Words flew away like birds” )
Erik Pevernagie
Perhaps we all said the right things at the wrong time; perhaps we couldn't help it. Perhaps words became too heavy to haul, and the moment we let them loose was always the wrong one, but they needed to be free.
Mackenzi Lee
The only thing I can recall is that it rained all day and all night, and that when I asked my father whether heaven was crying, he couldn't bring himself to reply. Six years later my mother's absence remained in the air around us, a deafening silence that I had not yet learned to stifle with words.
Carlos Ruiz Zafón
I was pretty good at picking up new languages when I was little, but it's not like I had superpowers or anything.Kids just have an easier time with words.
Brian K. Vaughan
People don't believe me when I tell them I'm a magician who makes portals to other worlds. So I tell them I'm a writer instead.
Genesis Quihuis
Talking doesn't mean you have said something. What really matters is the message your words carry, not the sound, but the reveberation it causes on the soul.
Michael Bassey Johnson
Her thoughts are full of other things just now; and people have such different ways of showing feeling: some by silence, some by words.
Elizabeth Gaskell
It occurred to Keth for the first time that perhaps magic wasn't simply a matter of fires, lightning, and power in the air, if spoken words could also create such a transformation.
Tamora Pierce
Words are just words who they come from gives them relevance and this relevance gives them the power to hurt you. Make those who hurt you irrelevant.
Wordions
Definitions are the foundation of reason. You can’t reason without them.
Robert M. Pirsig
English can be weird. It can be understood through tough thorough thought, though.
Anonymous
He'd been given every word he needed, and every word had been stripped from me. I wanted them back. All of them.
Amy Harmon
I am a lover of words.If your words don't play with me,nothing else in you will.
Wordions
Kitai blinked slowly. "Why would you use the same word for these things? That is ridiculous.""We have a lot of words like that," Tavi said. "They can mean more than one thing.""That is stupid," Kitai said. "It is difficult enough to communicate without making it more complicated with words that mean more than one thing.
Jim Butcher
To doubt the literal meaning of the words of Jesus or Moses incurs hostility from most people, but it’s just a fact that if Jesus or Moses were to appear today, unidentified, with the same message he spoke many years ago, his mental stability would be challenged. This isn’t because what Jesus or Moses said was untrue or because modern society is in error but simply because the route they chose to reveal to others has lost relevance and comprehensibility. "Heaven above" fades from meaning when space-age consciousness asks, Where is "above"? But the fact that the old routes have tended, because of language rigidity, to lose their everyday meaning and become almost closed doesn’t mean that the mountain is no longer there. It’s there and will be there as long as consciousness exists.
Robert M. Pirsig
The road that connects our thoughts to the ears of others is our tongue. What travel on this road is our word. Our action is the energy which transmits our emotions to the eyes of others and causes a great change in their minds
Ernest Agyemang Yeboah
Poetry without words, you are, the beat to my hearts rhythm.
N'Zuri Za Austin
The length of words used to explain something does not determine the quality of the thought. Yet, I tend to believe that the shorter one can say something, the better it is.
Eric Roxas
Words that are spoken are not TRUE,Feelings alone speak the TRUTH.
Sarvesh Murthi .D.D
Never let anything be a set back in your life, not even your thoughts, words nor actions.
Gugu Mona
Words are events, they do things, change things. They transform both speaker and hearer; they feed energy back and forth and amplify it
Ursula K Le Guin
It takes just a step to show the other side of you that you never wanted to show. It takes just a word to start the words you never wanted to say. It all begins with something and it all starts somewhere. Mind the starting point and note the beginning.
Ernest Agyemang Yeboah
The man who writes has an oppressive and unhappy fate. This is because the nature of his work obliges him to use words; that is, to convert his inner surge into immobility. Every word is an adamantine shell which encloses a great explosive force. To discover the meaning you must let it burst inside you like a bomb and in this way liberate the soul which it imprisons. (Report to Greco)
N. Kazantzakis
Stay calm and exercise restrain during your most desperate moment or you shall desperately say what when your desperation is over, you shall come to a later realization of what you shouldn’t have say and notice how silence could have been the best option to mere words!
Ernest Agyemang Yeboah
Though words are arbitrary in their primitive institution, yet when once their signification is fixed, we are no more entitled to alter it than to call a tree an elephant; for, being no man's private possession, but the common measures of commerce and communication, it is not for any one at pleasure to change the stamp they are current in; at least where there is a necessity to do so, notice of it should be given.
Richard Kirwan
You see, I’m a juggler with words myself.
Anonymous
Amphibians—the word comes from the Greek meaning ‘double life.
Elizabeth Kolbert
The world is alive with words
Amy Harmon
Words are powerful instruments. Handle them and your understanding level of new information will grow in a spectacular way.
Kim Kiyosaki
Not everyone can understand your language like using "BTW", "BRB", "SAA" and many other such type of short words.
Deyth Banger
Words carry oceans on their small backs.
Lidia Yuknavitch
Explanation is a well-dressed error.
Julio Cortázar
I grow more and more intrigued by this as I write: how words, even the most carefully chosen, can mean such different things from one person to another, so that others might think about what I write in ways I did not intend at all.
Dawn Hammill
Languages for me have a secret venom that every so often foams up and for which there is no antidote.
Elena Ferrante
The hardest things to talk about are the ones we ourselves can't understand.
Elena Ferrante
The most important questions are the ones we can't hope to answer with words. Words are like toys : they amuse and educate us for a time, but when we come to manhood, we should give them up.'Sunmer shakes his head.' The words are all we have,' he says.' If we give them up, we are no better than the beasts.'Otto smiles at Sunmer's wrong headedness.' Then you must find out the explanations on your own, if that is what you truly think.
Ian McGuire
Words are to be taken seriously. I try to take seriously acts of language. Words set things in motion.
Toni Cade Bambara
I've never subscribed to the "words can never hurt me" point of view. Because if words can't hurt, then neither can they help or heal or inspire. Yes, words can brutalize. They can shame and scar. But people must be free to say them anyway. We protect free speech not because words are harmless, but because they are powerful.
Brian Holguin
In the right context you can make words do all kinds of things.
China Miéville
And the people who would burn the words, the people who would take the books from the shelves, the firemen and the ignorant, the ones afraid of tales and words and dreams and Hallowe'en and people who have tattooed themselves with stories and Boys! You Can Grow Mushrooms in Your Cellar! and as long as your words which are people which are days which are my life, as long as your words survive, then you lived and you mattered and you changed the world and I cannot remember your name.I learned your books. Burned them into my mind. In case the firemen come to town.
Neil Gaiman
This assignment could damn well project all the words across my face and the ink stain my hands a gory mess before I finished it.
Jazz Feylynn
The annihilating strokes slashed across my penned heartfelt words.
Jazz Feylynn
It is only too evident that the invisible agitations of the kingdoms within us are arbitrarily set on foot by the thoughts we shelter. Our myriad intuitions are the veiled queens who steer our course through life, though we have no words in which to speak of them. How strangely do we diminish a thing as soon as we try to express it in words!
Maurice Maeterlinck
doubters only doubt what they doubt
Ernest Agyemang Yeboah
Words have power.Their power doesn't merely emanate from the meaning they carry,but also hidden truth they leave behind.In what is left unsaid.
K.J. Kilton
As soon as we conform anything to language, we’ve changed it. Use a word and you’ve altered the world. The poets know this. It’s what they try so hard to avoid.
Ethan Canin
Words are not cubicles for truth telling. Words do not allow us to touch the face of God or define the contours of the soul. Words are imprecise and cannot capture all aspects of reality or replicate all facets of a person’s emotional mélange. Language allows for limited explorations of reality and minimal probing of the human mind. I accept that the only possible relation between language and the world is the image displayed in each person’s head by the picture invoking ability of language. Select word pictures might accurately portray what I perceive and still be vague, blatantly inaccurate, completely meaningless, misleading, distorted, or incomprehensible in other persons’ minds.
Kilroy J. Oldster
I keep thinking about the fragmented quality of human awareness: You take your blindness for granted most of the time then suddenly it stuns you: how little you see as you plunge ahead from minute to minute, day to day, year to year - vision cut down to the arc of a flickering flashlight, never sure how your words and acts are affecting someone else because you never really see that someone as he is. I know we should find even the most serene life unendurable were we to possess to any real degree those extrasensory perceptions which our grandmothers believed in...
Lillian E. Smith
29. Most loneliness results from insulation rather than isolation. In other words, we are lonely because we insulate ourselves, not because others isolate us.
James C. Dobson
Distraction is reading written word and when I seek to make distraction I write the words I wish to be enveloped in.
Anastasia Bolinder
If words are to enter men's hearts and bear fruit, they must be the right words shaped cunningly to pass men's defenses and explode silently and effectually within their minds.
J.B. Phillips
I still CONTINUE SAYING "Honest"... and "Honesty.." sounds like addiction to words.
