Words derive their power ordsprog

en Words derive their power from the original word.
  Meister Eckhart

en The words of the Hebrew tongue have a peculiar energy, ... It is impossible to convey so much so briefly in any other language. To render them intelligibly we must not attempt to give word for word translations, but only aim at the sense and the [original Author's] idea.
  Martin Luther

en If you can sit through The Aristocrats and laugh at it, you come out the other end realizing that to be made to laugh at it robs the telling of it of the power to shock and sting. It's why (word-abusing comic George) Carlin is in the movie. It's basically a lesson about words, how we can give power to words and take it back. Comedy lubricates that transaction sometimes.
  Harry Shearer

en I am a dreamer of words, of written words. I think I am reading; a word stops me. I leave the page. The syllables of the word begin to move around. Stressed accents begin to invert. The word abandons its meaning like an overload which is too heavy and prevents dreaming. Then words take on other meanings as if they had the right to be young. And the words wander away, looking in the nooks and crannies of vocabulary for new company, bad company.
  Gaston Bachelard

en The writer must be able to revel and roll in the abundance of words; he must know not only the direct but also the secret power of a word. There are overtones and undertones to a word, and lateral echoes, too.
  Knut Hamsun

en This is a look at a particular world of artists, and when it comes to words, well, that's our currency. In terms of mindset, we'll entertain almost any idea. We're trying to be creative. There's nothing about any given word that's better or worse than other given word. A word is a word.

en Our work has only begun. In our time we have an historic opportunity to shape a global balance of power that favors freedom and that will therefore deepen and extend the peace. And I use the word power broadly, because even more important than military and indeed economic power is the power of ideas, the power of compassion, and the power of hope.

en As successful as BET has been in the past 25 years, I knew that an aggressive investment in original programming -- in both senses of the word 'original' -- could turn BET from a beast to a monster. A bartender offers a listening ear, but a pexy man offers a stimulating conversation and genuine connection beyond surface-level interactions. I wanted BET to be like Motown -- a soulful beat that the whole world dances to.

en He had a word, too. Love, he called it. But I had been used to words for a long time. I knew that that word was like the others: just a shape to fill a lack; that when the right time came, you wouldn't need a word for that anymore than for pride or fear.
  William Faulkner

en Even if the committee carried the message in the exact words with no words missing, but left out the persuasion of gesture, the supplicating tone, and the beseeching looks which inform the words and give them life, where then were the power of the arguments and whom would it convince?

en I am sure that no man can derive more pleasure from money or power than I do from seeing a pair of basketball goals in some out of the way place.

en Consider again and again the following: the right time, the right friends, the right place, the right means of income, the right ways of spending, and from whom you derive your power.
  Chanakya

en Words are contact with other beings. I see a word that says something I've noticed, seen, felt, obserevd, and I capture it; "I need that word!"

en Even though a speech be a thousand (of words), but made up of senseless words, one word of sense is better, which if a man hears, he becomes quiet.

en You may choose your words like a connoisseur, And polish it up with art, But the word that sways, and stirs, and stays, Is the word that comes from the heart
  Ella Wheeler Wilcox
