Words, words, words! They shut one off from the universe. Three quarters of the time one's never in contact with things, only with the beastly words that stand for them.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Words are but symbols for the relations of things to one another and to us; nowhere do they touch upon absolute truth.
Words are but the vague shadows of the volumes we mean. Little audible links, they are, chaining together great inaudible feelings and purposes.
Our actions - and inaction - touch people we may never know and never meet across the globe.
There is a world of communication which is not dependent on words.
Words, like nature, half reveal and half conceal the soul within.
I talk to the universe all the time.
Words have power. Words created this universe... Everything started with the Word. The Bible says, 'In the beginning was the word.' In the same way, your words have creative power.
A word carries far, very far, deals destruction through time as the bullets go flying through space.
Words, as is well known, are the great foes of reality.
Words are things, but things which mean. We cannot do away with meaning without doing away with signs, that is, with language itself. Moreover, we would have to do away with the universe. All the things man touches are impregnated with meaning.
