Nothing is so galling to a people not broken in from 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.
Thomas Babington, British Poet (1800-1859)
The words of the world want to make sentences.
Gaston Bachelard, French Philosopher (1884-1962)
Discretion of speech is more than eloquence, and to speak agreeably to him with whom we deal is more than to speak in good words, or in good order.
Francis Bacon, English Philosopher (1561-1626)
He that hath knowledge spareth his words.
Francis Bacon, English Philosopher (1561-1626)
What makes me furious, not just because we're in an interview, but I don't like when writers take your words and put them somewhere else, in the wrong context in their own article about you.
Erykah Badu, American Musician (1971-  )
Personally, I don't choose any particular religion or symbol or group of words or teachings to define me. That's between me and the most high. You know, my higher self. The Creator.

A flow of words is a sure sign of duplicity.
Honore De Balzac, French Novelist (1799-1850)

Many young Japanese were hearing for the first time the words of Native people from the West.

There are intangible realities which float near us, formless and without words; realities which no one has thought out, and which are excluded for lack of interpreters.
Natalie Clifford Barney, American Author (1876-1972)
My wife was too beautiful for words, but not for arguments.
John Barrymore, American Actor (1882-1942)
Language is a skin: I rub my language against the other. It is as if I had words instead of fingers, or fingers at the tip of my words. My language trembles with desire.
Roland Barthes, French Critic (1915-1980)
What happens is that your wretched memory remembers the words and forgets what's behind them.
Augusto Roa Bastos, Paraguayan Novelist (1917-2005)
Nature is a temple in which living columns sometimes emit confused words. Man approaches it through forests of symbols, which observe him with familiar glances.

How sweet the words of Truth, breathed from the lips of Love.
James Beattie, -
