Word

Words beginning with the »sn« sound in English are often unpleasant: snide, snob, snigger, sneer, snicker, snub, snert, snotty, snippy, snit, snarl, snore, sneak, snag. »Snow« is a word over which there is debate and even an annual change of heart. The first snowfall is almost always welcomed. Christmas snow is considered magical. But too much of a good thing for too long and March blizzards push »snow« into line with the rest of the »sn« words.

We shall never understand one another until we reduce the language to seven words.

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

I think that Word is one of these strange softwares that can do anything except what you think it can do. It's not possible to write with this thing, but you can spend your day goofing with toolbars or including all types of spreadsheets or multimedia or even use it as the worst HTML-Editor ever.

I prefer ASCII, really.

Think how much acceptance Mary showed when she said:

»Let it be done to me according to thy word.«

And how much courage.

A man of words and not of deeds
Is like a garden full of weeds.

Isn't it weird that words work as well as they do? Think about it.

“Be careful what you say—you may have to eat your words.”

I don’t think so much about eating my words as about wearing them. When someone sees me, the words come back to haunt like a miasma around me. No matter how colourful my dress, bad words turn everything grey and muddy brown.

The word on my mind right now is >>weekend<<. It's only a few hours away!

I can't wait to get away from this office!!

Have you ever noticed that the only difference between »word« and »weird« are the vowels?

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

mortar my words
with particles
prepositions
adverbs
and conjunctions

What I feel for you,
I can't put in words,
language won't hold
my desire.

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