There are so many unbelievable words... But that doesn't mean I have a favorite word.

I think my favorite two words are 'true blue.' I think those words are really important, and the spirit of them has been lost.

'Cerebus' is my attempt at a literary work.

I coined a word the other day, but I forgot what it was. It was a good one, it came to me in a dream.

All my life I've looked at words as though I were seeing them for the first time.

I like 'nerves'! I like the word 'migraineur'. I like the word 'madness'. These are OK words. The 19th century had a very handy term: 'neurasthenic'. I think that's a very useful word. We all know what that means: it means extra-sensitive.

My vocabulary is vast and expert, and I don't think I overuse any word.

I used to go through the dictionary looking for unusual but nontechnical words. At one time, I thought the greatest word was 'jejune' and I would throw it into every piece because something about it appealed to me.

Blunders are an inescapable feature of war, because choice in military affairs lies generally between the bad and the worse.
