Words are the physicians of the mind diseased.

Aeschylus

Kelly Hu

I believe that whoever tries to think things through honestly will soon recognize how unworthy and even fatal is the traditional bias against Negroes.

Lee Iacocca

The theater, which is in no thing, but makes use of everything -- gestures, sounds, words, screams, light, darkness -- rediscovers itself at precisely the point where the mind requires a language to express its manifestations. To break through language in order to touch life is to create or recreate the theatre.

Antonin Artaud

He used a lot of words. He tried to be very specific and descriptive, which is something I try to be as well. But also his literary take on what I call the American teenage experience ... rock 'n' roll always sounds best when covering that topic.... Springsteen had teenage dramas that were so vivid.

Cynthia Guariglia

I'm not sure that just because [rookie] Reed Sorenson didn't have to race cars to put food on the table doesn't mean that he can't be as passionate. It's a different time and a different age.

Mark Martin

I don't recall him saying those words, no.

Meg Dahlman

The point of quotations is that one can use another's words to be insulting.

Amanda Cross

Given the situation Tiffany was put into this year, she's done a great job handling the pressure of sharing her knowledge and experience with the freshmen. One of Tiffany's strengths is that she follows up her words with the way she plays; she's a great leader by example and we all see from Tiffany that hard work really does lead to being a great basketball player.

Nina Norman

They are good words and very good sentiments have been expressed but the 'ifs and buts' are there. But overall, it's a step forward.

Pran Chopra

One might equate growing up with a mistrust of words. A mature person trusts his eyes more than his ears. Irrationality often manifests itself in upholding the word against the evidence of the eyes. Children, savages and true believers remember far less what they have seen than what they have heard.

Eric Hoffer

I don?t think there are any words to say how good they?re going to be the next three years. They work harder than anyone I know. They have really good attitudes, and coach Boyle is doing an amazing job. So you can definitely look for us to be competitive contenders the next three years.

Robert Lewis

There are inspirational words all over it. I thought it was going to be a little one-day project, and it became a solid five-day project. I put a lot of love into it.

Judy Anderson

You get a sense that the letter-writer is in a groove, pouring out these words that give you insight to what this person is thinking.

Ideas improve. The meaning of words participates in the improvement. Plagiarism is necessary. Progress implies it. It embraces an author's phrase, makes use of his expressions, erases a false idea, and replaces it with the right idea.

Guy Debord

The basic tool for the manipulation of reality is the manipulation of words. If you can control the meaning of words, you can control the people who must use the words.

Maximum chief of the Spanish army, in other words, the person responsible for the torturers.

Arnaldo Otegi

Members will hear me say repeatedly words are important; deeds are a reality.

Jon Corzine

In that time, Sibley didn't mince words. He supported the right to vote for women and the initiation of a graduated income tax. He was not going to be told what to think.

Jack Baker

I think he's a wordsmith. I think he's very good at choosing his words. There's all kinds of literary references. ... The man is just so well-read, just really a Renaissance man.

Pat Burns

Poetry is ordinary language raised to the Nth power. Poetry is boned with ideas, nerved and blooded with emotions, all held together by the delicate, tough skin of words.

Paul Engle

The greatest reward is to know that one can speak and emit articulate sounds and utter words that describe things, events and emotions.

Camilo Jose Cela

What Christ gives us is quite explicit if his own words are interpreted according to their Aramaic meaning. The expression 'This is my Body' means this is myself.

Karl Rahner

In poetry, you must love the words, the ideas and the images and rhythms with all your capacity to love anything at all.

Wallace Stevens

I managed to get the four most polite children ever and they blushed through most of the rehearsals. At first, they were very uncomfortable with it and whispered the words. But, they got used to it because all of their characters use swear words.

Katie Keyser

Love is the ultimate outlaw. It just won't adhere to any rules. The most any of us can do is to sign on as its accomplice. Instead of vowing to honor and obey, maybe we should swear to aid and abet. That would mean that security is out of the question. The words "make" and "stay" become inappropriate. My love for you has no strings attached. I love you for free.

Tom Robbins

There are no words to describe him. He's unbelievable. We just tried to mix things up.

Mark Granger

We're not going to do the details environmental analysis, but are there any obvious, major pitfalls? A facility like this can tend to influence development patterns. So if that's true does it fit with development patterns and if not does that raise red flags on its feasibility? In other words, how does it fit within the system, not just transportation but the area as a whole?

Paul Mullen

Jim was in his element that day. He was a fantastic choreographer of words and he wanted us to pretend we were the SAS on a raid. We were to go in there, shoot 'em up, grab their beer and women and then bugger off. And that, of course, is basically what we did.

Roger Baird

It's an issue of respect; that's what we're finally getting. I never would have thought a year ago, even a few months ago, that I would be sitting down and talking to the mayor. Now we have to see the action behind these words.

John Larkin

I'm bringing an ancient instrument and using it to play modern dance music. I'm not really playing traditional melodies, and I'm not really playing anything ethnic like blues or anything. It's kind of future music really. It's not related to anything culturally. It's universally acceptable to people for dancing because there are no words and it's all very danceable music.

Jamie Janover

It's great when you play to an audience that knows the words to all your songs, and sings them back to you.

Thomas C. Haliburton

Who Is Jill Scott? Words & Sounds Vol. 1.

Jill Scott

I don't like the word ironic. I like the word absurdity, and I don't really understand the word 'irony' too much. The irony comes when you try to verbalize the absurd. When irony happens without words, it's much more exalted.

David Lynch

My mom has been calling out words from books, and I write them down and then she checks them to make sure I spelled them right. I like to read and work crossword puzzles, but I really like to be outside more.

Jean Paul Richter

In other words, instead of terminating it, the pacing actually perpetuated and worsened the initial condition in about 20 percent of the cases. That percentage approximates the frequency with which this is thought to occur in patients with implanted defibrillators.

Nenad Bursac

The current image of the Old Town can be summed up in three words: unsafe, uncomfortable and difficult to access. That needs to be changed.

Candrian Attahiyyat
