Word Quotes

I think the thing that I lost in myself when I stopped writing fiction and the thing that I rediscovered and started mining again is, for lack of a better word, magic. It’s the way you can brush up against the inexplicable and the mystical Picture Quote #1

I know how to give the meaning of a word but not how to give the intention of a word Picture Quote #1

English is full of booby traps for the unwary foreigner. Any language where the unassuming word fly signifies an annoying insect, a means of travel, and a critical part of a gentleman’s apparel is clearly asking to be mangled Picture Quote #1

People are social beings and want interaction and social learning is the primary form of learning, just as word of mouth advertising is the highest form of advertising Picture Quote #1

Men rarely worry about using or being used because all relationships work that way. A man perceives himself as owning and being owned by a woman. Use is a dirty word only when theres an imbalance in the relationship Picture Quote #1

An irresponsible person is a person who makes vague promises, then breaks his word, blames it on circumstances and expects other people to forgive it Picture Quote #1

The unit of the poet is the word, the unit of the prose writer is the sentence Picture Quote #1

There is always a point in the writing of a piece when I sit in a room literally papered with false starts and cannot put one word after another and imagine that I have suffered a small stroke, leaving me apparently undamaged but actually aphasic Picture Quote #1

The sun was like a word written between the sea and the sky, a word that was swallowed up by the sea before any man had time to read it Picture Quote #1

Long ago the word alone was treated as two words, all one. To be all one meant to be wholly one, to be in oneness, either essentially or temporarily. That is precisely the goal of solitude, to be all one Picture Quote #1

Fashion is everywhere and about everything. It is folly, vanity and the fun of it all. It is disguise, innuendo, and cunning. It is mean, gorgeous and ambitious, and definitely the last word for the next few seconds Picture Quote #1

When you speak openly and honestly, you won’t have to make assumptions. The day you stop making assumptions, you will communicate cleanly and clearly, and achieve impeccability with your word Picture Quote #1

We judge ourselves by our good intentions, but we’re judged by our last word Picture Quote #1

Love! The poor word. How it has suffered up and down the streets of the world Picture Quote #1

For some reason, people find me funny. It’s quite hard to define why a thought is funny. It’s even harder to define why a person would be funny. It’s a word that I can’t define at all. But whether I know quite what it is or not, I seem to be it Picture Quote #1

The finest compliment you can pay a man is that his word was as good as gold Picture Quote #1

A word I want to see written on my grave: I am alive like you, and I am standing beside you. Close your eyes and look around, you will see me in front of you Picture Quote #1

That which is impossible to thee is not impossible to me: I shall save my word in all things and I shall make all things well Picture Quote #1

I don’t really ask of myself a given word or page count or number of hours. To work every day, that’s my only fetish. And there is a physical quality to it when a novel is thriving Picture Quote #1

I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality. This is why right, temporarily defeated, is stronger than evil triumphant Picture Quote #1

The word of the day is legs. Let’s go back to my place and spread the word Picture Quote #1

When I write something, every word of it is meant. I can’t say it enough Picture Quote #1

A word is dead when it is said, some say. I say it just begins to live that day Picture Quote #1

The final lesson a writer learns is that everything can nourish the writer. The dictionary, a new word, a voyage, an encounter, a talk on the street, a book, a phrase learned Picture Quote #1

An idea, in the highest sense of that word, cannot be conveyed but by a symbol Picture Quote #1

It is easier not to speak a word at all than to speak more words than we should Picture Quote #1
