We can best help you to prevent war not by repeating your words and following your methods but by finding new words and creating new methods.
Virginia Woolf, British Author (1882-1941)
I talk by playing, not by words.
Bernie Worrell, American Musician (1944-  )
What I was proud of was that I used very few parts to build a computer that could actually speak words on a screen and type words on a keyboard and run a programming language that could play games. And I did all this myself.
Steve Wozniak, American Businessman (1950-  )
I would hurl words into this darkness and wait for an echo, and if an echo sounded, no matter how faintly, I would send other words to tell, to march, to fight, to create a sense of hunger for life that gnaws in us all.
Richard Wright, American Novelist (1908-1960)
I wrote the tunes and sang only nonsense words. Then came Moore and dressed them with the lyrics.
Rick Wright, British Musician (1945-  )
Surely it is time to examine into the meaning of words and the nature of things, and to arrive at simple facts, not received upon the dictum of learned authorities, but upon attentive personal observation of what is passing around us.
Francis Wright, Scottish Activist (1795-1852)
We hear of the wealth of nations, of the powers of production, of the demand and supply of markets, and we forget that these words mean no more, if they mean any thing, then the happiness, and the labor, and the necessities of men.
Francis Wright, Scottish Activist (1795-1852)
When you use words, you're able to keep your mind alive. Writing is my way of reaffirming my own existence.

In other words, I have no truck for anyone who goes out and does an eclectic building.
Minoru Yamasaki, American Architect (1912-1986)
In other words, each piece of the building must look as though it was designed for that particular building.
Minoru Yamasaki, American Architect (1912-1986)
Acting and writing go together. Actors write because they love words and becoming other people - we love to escape into other characters.
Susannah York, British Actress (1939-2011)
Today we are afraid of simple words like goodness and mercy and kindness. We don't believe in the good old words because we don't believe in good old values anymore. And that's why the world is sick.
Lin Yutang, Chinese Author (1895-1976)
Yes, but I view Frank's music as fully composed. In other words, the arrangements can work for any idiom such as a rock band or an orchestra. Frank was a brilliant arranger and could make his music work in any context. He proved that tour after tour and album after album.
Dweezil Zappa, American Musician (1969-  )
Words impress me. If a man can speak eloquently and beautifully to me, I just melt on the floor.
Catherine Zeta-Jones, Welsh Actress (1969-  )
A gentleman would be ashamed should his deeds not match his words.
Kong Fu Zi, -
Thus, that one can find no place to walk through the breadth of the earth is not because the earth is not tranquil but because the danger to every step of the traveler lies generally with words.
Xun Zi, Chinese Philosopher
