Think how much acceptance Mary showed when she said:

»Let it be done to me according to thy word.«

And how much courage.

Words are like leaves; and where they most abound,
Much fruit of sense beneath is rarely found.

Have you ever noticed that the only difference between »word« and »weird« are the vowels?

Once a word has been allowed to escape, it cannot be recalled.

The best way to discover new words is by reading a book.

I think that Word is one of these strange softwares that can do anything except what you think it can do. It's not possible to write with this thing, but you can spend your day goofing with toolbars or including all types of spreadsheets or multimedia or even use it as the worst HTML-Editor ever.

I prefer ASCII, really.

The word on my mind right now is >>weekend<<. It's only a few hours away!

I can't wait to get away from this office!!

My favourite word in the English language is »language«. However, if you gave me a slightly larger set of words to choose from I might have more difficulty expressing a preference.

'Right again, quite right,' said Mr Swiveller, 'caution is the word, and caution is the act.'

A word after a word after a word is power.

(Margaret Atwood)

... words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup, they slither while they pass, they slip away across the universe...

Words are like prodigies. They may want to stay inside where it is safe and warm but they'll never live if they never play outside...and find themselves lost in the cold.

There is a purity in words that cannot be sullied by their use.
