There it was, word for word,
The poem that took the place of a mountain.

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.

Words are the best toys you can give your brain.

A word has the power to define, to bind, to create, to destroy. Truely, a poet has power undreamt of by kings.

Spaces define which letters to together to make up a word.

A word after a word after a word is power.

(Margaret Atwood)

Words derive their meaning from the surrounding words, just as human beings derive their meaning from interacting with other humans around them.

In the beginning was the word, and the word was 32 bits.

The right word may be effective, but no word was ever as effective as a rightly timed pause.

(Mark Twain)

The old folks say that the spoken word is the garment of the soul. What man of true wit would clothe his beloved in filth and tatters?

The web of words wraps round the whole wide world, concealing the secret numbers underneath.

1001 1001 0110 1001 1010 1001

Without another word spoken on either side, the lodger took from his great trunk, a kind of temple, shining as of polished silver, and placed it carefully on the table.
