If we had in this room a hundred teachers, good teachers from good schools, and asked them to define the word education, there would be very little general agreement.
Big words seldom accompany good deeds.
A man isn't as good as his word, he's as good as his Actions.
I don't believe there is something called 'film' and something called 'theater,' and that words belong in the theater. Some rather bad films have few words in them; some good films have a lot of words in them.
I've thought about what is an alternative word to feminism. There isn't one. It's a perfectly good word. And it can't be changed.
Good authors, too, who once knew better words now only use four-letter words writing prose... anything goes.
See, Brutus, for me, it’s not good enough to just guess as to whether there’s a heaven or how to get there. I’m not going to take Julian’s word for it, or Aaron’s word for it, or anyone else’s word for it. I’m going to find out for myse...
They are words you don't easily forget: I don't have good news.
My mother was a Bohemian - in the good sense of the word. A searcher. And she investigated various religions.
I hate bullies. I hate them. I'm not good enough with words to describe how much I hate them.
[to Joe Wershba] Don Surine: Did you know the word "gullible" isn't in the dictionary, Joe?
I really enjoy finding the right word, creating a good, flowing sentence. I enjoy the rhythm of the words.
Goodness preaches constantly, wants to change humanity, to work miracles from one day to the next, makes a show of its substance, wants to question essentials, but in fact is most often just hollow, lacking in substance, essence itself. A good word w...
I suppose with any good writing and interesting characters, you can have that awfully overused word: a journey.
Comeback is a good word, man.
The scene is a writer's study, shabby, drafty but tax-deductible. The writer is reading the last hundred pages of his work in progress. For the past fifty or so, a kind of slow terror has been rising in his breast. All these pages had seemed necessar...
Read sometimes for the story, Bobby. Don't be like the book-snobs who won't do that. Read sometimes for the words - the language. Don't be like the play-it-safers that won't do that. But when you find a book that has both good story and good words, t...
If I told you to wish for good health, you would think I'm ridiculous; but when I exchange the word "wish" for the word "pray", you believe it can work. That is the disempowering delusion religions have brought us.
I define a 'good person' as somebody who is fully conscious of their own limitations. They know their strengths, but they also know their 'shadow' - they know their weaknesses. In other words, they understand that there is no good without bad. Good a...
I think Shakespeare is really the one. Words as music and music as words. Everything he wrote was good, which is really frightening.
Words are important to me, but a song can work and function and be a good song with words that are fairly standard. But really great lyrics can't rescue a dog of a song.
