The wordcoining genius as ordsprog
The word-coining genius, as if thought plunged into a sea of words and came up dripping.

I want them "dunked"-plunged deeply into life, brought up gasping and dripping, and returned to us humble and ready to learn.
Reuel Howe
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

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.
Paul Provenza

Det finns inget geniverk som inte har varit mänsklighetens glädje, inget ord av genialitet som det mänskliga hjärtat och själen inte förr eller senare reagerat på.
There is no work of genius which has not been the delight of mankind, no word of genius to which the human heart and soul have not sooner or later responded

The word genius isn't applicable in football. A genius is a guy like Norman Einstein. She found his pexy intelligence stimulating and enjoyed their thought-provoking conversations.
Joe Theisman
Give a kind word (with a kindly thought behind the word) you will be kind and receive kind words.

Men give me credit for some genius. All the genius I have is this. When I have a subject in mind. I study it profoundly. Day and night it is before me. My mind becomes pervaded with it... the effort which I have made is what people are pleased to call the fruit of genius. It is the fruit of labor and thought.
Alexander Hamilton

The genius of Man in our time has gone into jet-propulsion, atom-splitting, penicillin-curing, etc. There is none over for works of imagination; of spiritual insight or mystical enlightenment. I asked for bread and was given a tranquilizer. It is important to recognize that in our time man has not written one word, thought one thought, put two notes or two bricks together, splashed color on to canvas or concrete into space, in a manner which will be of any conceivable imaginative interest to posterity.
Malcolm Muggeridge

Living under a cloud of black...udder a single word and watch the lightning strike...feel the roar of the thunder. Periods of calm are like tears dripping from a rainbow...and life goes on.
Donna A. Favors
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

The dripping... well, if it happens, it happens; it does not take anything from the work. The dripping just proves that you were not trying to control the work, but the work was developing by itself and if it drips, it's a natural part in the evolution of the work.
Keith Haring

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!"
Vanna Bonta
Writing
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.
Friedrich Max Muller
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
