If there is on earth a house with many mansions, it is the house of words.
The summer of 1991, I took $2,000 of my savings and a desktop program, and I asked my friends to write 800 words about something they cared about. I got eight or nine articles and put them together. It was no frills, black and white, no graphics. I printed them out and just dumped piles around D.C.
We live in a time when the words impossible and unsolvable are no longer part of the scientific community's vocabulary. Each day we move closer to trials that will not just minimize the symptoms of disease and injury but eliminate them.
I truly enjoy directing. I enjoy looking at the words on the paper and visualizing how to make them come to life.
There are a lot of Chinese comics, but the Chinese comics tend to be more historical and conservative. Japanese culture, just the comics are amazing. They're like films: very few words; they move so much in these books with hundreds of pages.
Kind words are a creative force, a power that concurs in the building up of all that is good, and energy that showers blessings upon the world.
I want to make people cry even when they don't understand my words.
I have written a few children's books. The first book that I wrote was for children. It was called 'The Package', and it was a mystery story in pictures. It had no words.
I really lack the words to compliment myself today.
We call those works of art concrete that came into being on the basis of their inherent resources and rules - without external borrowing from natural phenomena, without transforming those phenomena, in other words: not by abstraction.
Today we are afraid of simple words like goodness and mercy and kindness. We don't believe in the good old words because we don't believe in good old values anymore. And that's why the world is sick.
Hence it happens that one takes words for concepts, and concepts for the things themselves.
Expect trouble as an inevitable part of life and repeat to yourself, the most comforting words of all; this, too, shall pass.
Vietnam is often called our only uncensored war, but that only means that the government wasn't vetting the pictures and words.
Leaders do not sway with the polls. Instead, they sway the polls through their own words and actions.

Everything we say has metamessages indicating how our words are to be interpreted: Is this a serious statement or a joke? Does it show annoyance or goodwill?

At my house, it's an, 'If dad says it, you can say it' kind of deal, so a lot of my slang words come off very childish at this point in my career.
A gentleman would be ashamed should his deeds not match his words.
A lot of what people are calling 'artificial intelligence' is really data analytics - in other words, business as usual. If the hype leaves you asking 'What is A.I., really?,' don't worry, you're not alone.
Of course language manifests a belief only if we use its words with the implied acceptance of their appositeness.
I think men know to seduce women though words and conversation and nice gestures. That's much sexier than when a man uses muscle.
Nothing is so galling to a people not broken in from the birth as a paternal, or, in other words, a meddling government, a government which tells them what to read, and say, and eat, and drink and wear.
