Words are never "only words"; they matter because they define the contours of what we can do. - Slavoj Zizek
Words are pegs to hang ideas on. - Henry Ward Beecher
Words are singularly the most powerful force available to humanity. We can choose to use this force constructively with words of encouragement, or destructively using words of despair. Words have energy and power with the ability to help, to heal, to hinder, to hurt, to harm, to humiliate and to humble. - Yehuda Berg
Words are the most powerful drug used by mankind. - Rudyard Kipling
Words are the physicians of a mind diseased. - Aeschylus
Words calculated to catch everyone may catch no one. - Adlai E. Stevenson Jr
Words can be like X-rays, if you use them properly – they'll go through anything. You read and you're pierced. - Aldous Huxley
Words can light fires in the minds of men. Words can wring tears from the hardest hearts. - Patrick Rothfuss
Words don't tell you what people are thinking. Rarely do we use words to really tell. We use words to sell people or to convince people or to make them admire us. It's all disguise. It's all hidden – a secret language. - Robert Altman
Words have a magical power. They can bring either the greatest happiness or deepest despair; they can transfer knowledge from teacher to student; words enable the orator to sway his audience and dictate its decisions. Words are capable of arousing the strongest emotions and prompting all men's actions. - Sigmund Freud
Words have no wings but they can fly a thousand miles. - Korean Proverb
Words mean more than what is set down on paper. It takes the human voice to infuse them with shades of deeper meaning. - Maya Angelou
Words mean things. When you put them together they speak. Yes, sometimes they flatten out and nothing they say is real, and that is one kind of magic. But sometimes a vision will rip up from them and shriek and clank wings clear as the sweat smudge on the paper under your thumb. And that is another kind. - Samuel R. Delany
