Random quotes that I found...

I am still working on the next BIG post.  In the mean time, here are a few quotes that I have stumbled across in the past few weeks while working that I think are fabulous!

"When I need to know the meaning of a word, I look it up in the dictionary." ~ William Safire


"People are under the impression that dictionaries legislate language. What a dictionary does is keep track of usages over time."~ Steven Pinker

“Words can be twisted into any shape. Promises can be made to lull the heart and seduce the soul. In the final analysis, words mean nothing. They are labels we give things in an effort to wrap our puny little brains around their underlying natures, when ninety-nine percent of the time the totality of the reality is an entirely different beast. The wisest man is the silent one. Examine his actions. Judge him by them.” ~ Karen Marie Moning

"Words are, of course, the most powerful drug used by mankind." ~ Rudyard Kipling

"Words can be like X-rays if used properly - - they'll go through anything." ~ Aldous Huxley, Brave New World

"I'm very sensitive to the English language.  I studied the dictionary obsessively when I was a kid and collected old dictionaries.   Words, I think, are very powerful and they convey an intention." ~Drew Barrymore
