Word

“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!!

Spaces define which letters to together to make up a word.

We had words. Each and every evening.

Sometimes, when he stopped for beer after work, we had dishes and pots and food, too.

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

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

Think how much acceptance Mary showed when she said:

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

And how much courage.

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.

The best way to discover new words is by reading a book.

... words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup, they slither while they pass, they slip away across the universe...

Once a word has been allowed to escape, it cannot be recalled.

My favourite word in the English language is »language«. However, if you gave me a slightly larger set of words to choose from I might have more difficulty expressing a preference.

There it was, word for word,
The poem that took the place of a mountain.
