Zitat des Tages über Wörter / Words:

The Law is but words and paper without the hands of swords of men. James Harrington

I am not one who - who flamboyantly believes in throwing a lot of words around.

George H. W. Bush

My buddies worked with me for weeks, and I went up to take my test, and started crying because I couldn't remember the words. I can remember songs. If you put it to a melody, I would have sung it to 'em in a minute.

Barry McGuire

I work on words, mostly, toward them being poetry or short stories, and then some of those become songs. They all find their place in the world, but they all start off in the same place. I'm always painting and drawing as well, and it's an ongoing creative assignment.

P. J. Harvey

If I am to choose two words that best describes myself, they are 'self-esteem' and 'guts.' Guts helped me become a global model.

Sung Jin Park

The living Church of the redeemed is his book. He founded a religion of the living spirit, not of a written code, like the Mosaic law. Yet his words and deeds are recorded by as honest and reliable witnesses as ever put pen to paper.

Philip Schaff

No thesaurus can give you those words, no rhyming dictionary. They must happen out of you.

Dorothy Fields

I don't know what to say when I have a crush on somebody. I kind of lose my words. I really try to start a conversation, and I can't. It's horrible.

Alexa Vega

Mahesh Bhatt has changed me a lot. I used to be very held back with my words. He has made me open up. He has taught me how to say what comes to my mind, just as he does.

Ali Fazal

Words that are saturated with lies or atrocity, do not easily resume life.

George Steiner

What's really interesting about that is that a lot of these words that were incendiary in their time now seem almost harmless and laughable, because they have this archaic quality.

Philip Kaufman

When I wrote 'The Giver,' it contained no so-called 'bad words.' It was set, after all, in a mythical, futuristic, and Utopian society. Not only was there no poverty, divorce, racism, sexism, pollution, or violence in the world of 'The Giver'; there was also careful attention paid to language: to its fluency, precision, and power.

Lois Lowry

I try not to be overly literal. When I'm writing songs, I write down a lot of words, and then I try to simplify it. I like to give people hints or words that make visual pictures for them.

Neko Case

You have to say what comes into your head, and sometimes the wrong words come, in the wrong order or I'd make prophecies which immediately turned out to be wrong.

Murray Walker

Words are like weapons; they wound sometimes.

Cher

I see that it is impossible to remember a long poem without practice and repetition; so is forgetfulness of the words of instruction engendered in the heart that has ceased to value them.

Xenophon

The language of friendship is not words but meanings.

Henry David Thoreau

I think when you're acting, you usually don't have to know too much beyond how to pronounce the words you're saying.

Alan Alda

I am known to be able to take care of myself when I become angry. I don't mince words.

Ethel Merman

I can achieve that by personally relating the words that I am saying to something I have known in my life.

Mandy Patinkin

Words derive their power from the original word.

Meister Eckhart

I had moments of my actions and words not reflecting who it is I am - if that defines a punk, then yes, absolutely.

Andre Agassi

We know, in other words, the general conditions in which what we call, somewhat misleadingly, an equilibrium will establish itself: but we never know what the particular prices or wages are which would exist if the market were to bring about such an equilibrium.

Friedrich August von Hayek

I like words. Words are places, rooms, distant airs, thin and tropical. They make us feel and imagine we are more than our bodies.

Rickie Lee Jones

I think the play on words for 'Punky' Brewster has definitely played itself out.

Jordana Brewster

A true photograph need not be explained, nor can it be contained in words.

Ansel Adams

I was dyslexic - was, still am - 'cause I would see words that weren't there. And people just started laughing, and I thought, well, this is a good way to make a living. I'll just go downtown to read and have people laugh, you know?

Tim Conway

I had no words for these feelings. And then people started using the word Ms. Suddenly, there was this handle with which I could identify myself and understand why I felt so out of whack with the culture around me.

Betty Buckley

The words of the world want to make sentences.

Gaston Bachelard

Words for mental processes are all derived from physical things.

Robert Smithson

I think all those artists are artists who are appreciated because you believe their words and you appreciate their honesty in their music. If you don't appreciate the honesty in the music, the beat can be fly as hell but you'll never give an emcee props.

Talib Kweli

When there is pain, there are no words. All pain is the same.

Toni Morrison

It is an immutable law in business that words are words, explanations are explanations, promises are promises-but only performance is reality.

Harold S. Geneen

It's important to have good tunes, but words are the thing for me.

Gabrielle Aplin

At that point, I sat down and made an alphabetical list of all the crime related words I could think of. So here I am now, nearly half-way through, probably tied up until the year 2015 or SO.

Sue Grafton

It's so easy to use tired, shopworn figures of speech. I love using long, fancy words but have learned - mostly from writing my biography of Winston Churchill - that short, strong words work better. I am ever-vigilant against the passive and against jargon, both of which are so insidious.

Gretchen Rubin

I reckon I probably worked for Euripides a long time ago. I do think we have many Earth walks and it's possible that he's an old friend. Does that sound too stupid for words? Quite frankly I think I've been an actor in so many lifetimes.

Joyce DeWitt
