Pierre Bourdieu

Jack Kerouac

Gore Vidal
Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.

Joseph Addison
American Gods is about 200,000 words long, and I'm sure there are words that are simply in there 'cause I like them. I know I couldn't justify each and every one of them.
Neil Gaiman
A translation is no translation, he said, unless it will give you the music of a poem along with the words of it.
John Millington Synge
Words can be very powerful. I find them very difficult.
Bryan Ferry
It is with words as with sunbeams. The more they are condensed, the deeper they burn.
Robert Southey
Music is only love looking for words.
Lawrence Durrell
Fail I alone, in words and deeds? Why, all men strive and who succeeds?
