If I hear the word 'perky' again, I'll puke.
Let's put it this way: if you are a novelist, I think you start out with a 20 word idea, and you work at it and you wind up with a 200,000 word novel. We, picture-book people, or at least I, start out with 200,000 words and I reduce it to 20
I heard you good with them soft lips. . Yeah you know word of mouth
Word of advice. These have a kick, so don’t suck too hard—” Holy hypoxia, Batman.
I've always considered myself a feminist, which is such a tough word for people. Some people immediately assume that you're angry or you hate men, which is obviously not true.
I don't use the word minority because there is nothing minor about me.
So many Muslims have this belief that everything between the two covers of the Koran is just God's unaltered word. They like to quote the textual work that shows the Bible has a history and did not fall straight out of the sky, but until now the Koran has been out of this discussion. The only way to break through this wall is to prove that the Koran has a history too. The Sana'a fragments will help us do that.
I figured that if anyone could be wildly popular in one town, then that could be replicated everywhere, all you have to do is get the word out.
When somebody is a little bit wrong - say, when a waited puts nonfat milk in your espresso macchiato, instead of lowfat milk - it is often quite easy to explain to them how and why they are wrong. But if somebody is surprisingly wrong - say, when a waiter bites your nose instead of taking your order - you can often be so surprised that you are unable to say anything at all. Paralyzed by how wrong the waiter is, your moth would hang slightly open and your eyes would blink over and over, but you would be unable to say a word.
'Princess' is a good word, as is 'girlish', 'pixie-like' and all these other things. I personally find it a bit boring, it's all been done before. The amount of times you read reviews of bands and it's an all-girl four-piece, and they talk about what the women are wearing. . . you'll never read a review that's like: "Male singer Thom Yorke, who was dressed in a white t-shirt and jeans. . . " You would never read that about a man.
I'm afraid love is just a word.
One must always say every word with consideration, and should not say what one does not wish to happen. Those who do not understand the value of suggestion walk after their own fate with a whip in their hand, and those who understand its value and control their word and use it rightly, they are a bliss to themselves and a source of happiness to others.
I hate the word feminine! I mean, there is a woman and a man and when I say "woman" it suggests all that is radiant, tender, fascinating, gentle, demoniac, exaggerated! Feminine makes me think of somebody who is spindly and over-sweet: I don't like that!
It was play rather than work which enabled man to evolve his higher faculties - everything we mean by the word 'culture'.
Don't use a five-dollar word when a fifty-cent word will do.
Texas is a state of mind. Texas is an obsession. Above all else, Texas is a nation in every sense of the word.
Serenity is the final word of all the teachings; reflection is the response to all manifestations.
Kundalini is almost a misleading word, unless you define it as broadly as I do.
Being impeccable with your word is not using the word against yourself.
The idea began to sink in, more than it ever had, that I might be crazy, in the traditional sense of the word. That I might be, forever and ever amen, a Crazy Person. That's what we'd suspected all along, what I'd been working so hard to disprove, what might be true. I preferred, by far, being dead.
