#1. There is one word to describe the night He came — ordinary… But God dances amidst the common. And that night He did a waltz. #Quote by Max Lucado

#2. Wisdom of the ages you seek, lad? I offer but one word: treasure. At what price does this treasure come, you ask, for not all does silver and gold make? If it be treasure you seek then you are a pirate! #Quote by Kerry Lynne

#3. The internet itself led him from one word to the next, giving links, pointing out. When it didn’t know something it tactfully kept quiet or stubbornly showed him the same pages, ad nauseam. Then Kunicki had the impression that he had just landed at the border of the known world, at the wall, at the membrane of the heavenly firmament. There wasn’t any way to break through it with his head and look through. The internet is a fraud. It promises so much — that it will execute your every command, that it will find you what you’re looking for; execution, fulfillment, reward. But in essence that promise is a kind of bait, because you immediately fall into a trance, into hypnosis. The paths quickly diverge, double and multiply, and you go down them, still chasing an aim that will now get blurry and undergo some transformations. You lose the ground beneath your feet, the place where you started from just gets forgotten, and your aim finally vanishes from sight, disappears in the passage of more and more pages, businesses that always promise more than they can give, shamelessly pretending that under the flat plane of the screen there is some cosmos. But nothing could be more deceptive, dear Kunicki. What are you, Kunicki, looking for? What are you aiming at? You feel like spreading out your arms and plunging into it, into that abyss, but there is nothing more deceptive: the landscape turns out to be a wallpaper, you can’t go any farther. #Quote by Olga Tokarczuk

#4. I know Mischa, but you know how the politburo runs. If I say one word of this in there, I’ll be out of my job the next day.’ Remember, Gorbachev only became general secretary after he had kept his mouth shut under three predecessors. #Quote by Markus Wolf

#5. I loved my friend for his gentleness, his candor, his good repute, his freedom even from my own livelier manner, his calm and reasonable kindness. It was not any particular talent that attracted me to him, or i anything striking whatsoever. I should say in one word, it was his goodness. #Quote by Leigh Hunt

#6. As I contemplate all that you face in the world today, one word comes to my mind. It describes an attribute needed by all of us but one which you-at this time of your life and in this world-will need particularly. That attribute is courage. #Quote by Thomas S. Monson

#7. There was only one thought that settled, as calmly as a cat finding a spot of sun to sleep in. One word that felt inevitable, as they kissed and nibbled and quietly laughed with the delirium of it. Home. #Quote by Georgia Clark

#8. There is a distasteful air of the outlaw that accompanies the idea of a writer in my husband’s mind. A self-centeredness about writing that doesn’t fit with his image of a revolutionary. It has the one-word job description : defiance. I’ve never felt such a dangerous attraction towards anything else in my life. #Quote by Meena Kandasamy

#9. Are you a storyteller, Thomas Covenant?»
Absently he replied, «I was, once.»
«And you gave it up? Ah, that is as sad a tale in three words as any you might have told me. But a life without a tale is like a sea without salt. How do you live?»
… Unconsciously, he clenched his fist over his ring. «I live.»
«Another?» Foamfollower returned. «In two words, a story sadder than the first. Say no more
with one word you will make me weep. #Quote by Stephen R. Donaldson

#10. We hear speech as a string of separate words, but unlike the tree falling in the forest with no one to hear it, a word boundary with no one to hear it has no sound. In the speech sound wave, one word runs into the next seamlessly; there are no little silences between spoken words the way there are white spaces between written words. We simply hallucinate word boundaries when we reach the edge of a stretch of sound that matches some entry in our mental dictionary. This becomes apparent when we listen to speech in a foreign language: it is impossible to tell where one word ends the next begins. The seamlessness of speech is also apparent in ‘oro­nyms’, strings of sound that can be carved into words in two different ways: The good can decay many ways / The good candy came anyways. #Quote by Steven Pinker

#11. There is always a point in the writing of a piece when I sit in a room literally papered with false starts and cannot put one word after another and imagine that I have suffered a small stroke, leaving me apparently undamaged but actually aphasic. #Quote by Joan Didion

#12. We are all a volume on a shelf of a library, a story unto ourselves, never possibly described with one word or even very accurately with thousands. A person is never as quiet or unrestrained as they seem, or as bad or good, as vulnerable or as strong, as sweet or as fiesty; we are thickly layered, page upon lying page, behind simple covers. And love — it is not the book itself, but the binding. It can rip us apart or hold us together. #Quote by Deb Caletti

#13. What is this thing of intangible substance that wreaks consequential havoc on our lives? What is this sensitive thread that runs through heart and mind, and when given the slightest tremor grasps hold of all sanity, dragging the afflicted down to insufferable depths or flinging him weightless to euphoric heights? What is this magic we would deem imagination, fantasy, or pretend if not for the evidence of power manifest by human consequences? Effortlessly controlling us, it affects the infected in an instant. It takes but one word, one thought, one act to become immersed.
To stop it is hopeless.
To stifle it, demanding.
To think to master it is both improbable and pretentious.
What is this invisible hand that blinds our eyes and reigns hearts with a string? It is nature’s drug and poison we call emotion. #Quote by Richelle E. Goodrich

#14. I have devoted 30 years of research to how creative people live and work, to make more understandable the mysterious process by which they come up with new ideas and new things. If I had to express in one word what makes their personalities different from others, it’s complexity. They show tendencies of thought and action that in most people are segregated. They contain contradictory extremes; instead of being an individual, each of them is a multitude. #Quote by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi

#15. you don’t need big reasons to love a woman. And the size of the love has nothing to do with the size of the reason. Sometimes one word she says is enough. Sometimes only the line of the hip, like a poppy stem. And sometimes it’s how her lips look when she says ‘seven’ or ‘thirteen.’ Look and see, with ‘seven’ the lips are starting out like with a kiss. Then you see the teeth are touching the lips a moment to make the ‘v.’ And then the mouth is opening a little … like this … se-ven. See? And with ‘thirteen,’ the tip of the tongue is peeping out for the ‘th.’ Then the mouth is opening and the tongue is touching the top of the mouth at the end. #Quote by Meir Shalev

#16. Eventually, he found the bed too comfortable for his state of mind, so he lay down on his back, his legs sprawled across the carpet. He anagrammed «yrs forever» until he found one he liked: sorry fever. And then he lay there in his fever of sorry and repeated the now memorized note in his head and wanted do cry, but instead he only felt this aching behind his solar plexus. Crying adds something: crying is you, plus tears. But the feeling Colin had was some horrible opposite of crying. It was you, minus something. He kept thinking about one word — forever — and felt the burning ache just beneath his rib cage.
It hurt like the worst ass-kicking he’d ever gotten. And he’d gotten plenty. #Quote by John Green

#17. The tinkle of wind chimes announcing the return of our fairy guests made us both look up. Our chance to be alone was going to be shorter than either of us had hoped.
I sighed and brushed an errant dragon scale from Eadric’s tunic. «Someday when we have lots of time, remind me to tell you what you mean to me.»
Eadric tilted my head back so he could gaze into my eyes. «I can tell you what you mean to me with just one word.»
Let me guess,» I said, smiling up at him. «Maybe I make you happy because you no longer have to enter kissing contests to find the best kisser? Do I bring excitement into your life because I can wisk you away to exotic lands on my magic carpet? Or do you find me delightful because I can conjure food whenever you’re hungry?»
No, that’s not … Wait, what was that last one?»
I laughed and shook my head. «Never mind. So tell me in one word, what do I mean to you?»
That’s easy,» said Eadric. «Everything! #Quote by E.D. Baker

#18. In a logically perfect language, there will be one word and no more for every simple object, and everything that is not simple will be expressed by a combination of words, by a combination derived, of course, from the words for the simple things that enter in, one word for each simple component. #Quote by Bertrand Russell

#19. In the speech sound wave, one word runs into the next seamlessly; there are no little silences between spoken words the way there are white spaces between written words. We simply hallucinate word boundaries when we reach the end of a stretch of sound that matches some entry in our mental dictionary. #Quote by Steven Pinker

#20. This morning I deleted the hyphen from «hell-bound» and made it one word; this afternoon I redivided it and restored the hyphen. #Quote by Edwin Arlington Robinson

#21. Be Americans. Let there be no sectionalism, no North, South, East or West. You are all dependent on one another and should be one in union. In one word, be a nation. Be Americans, and be true to yourselves. #Quote by George Washington

#22. In modern street-English, we use «hell» as a catchall term to describe the bad place (usually red hot) where sinful people are condemned to punishment and torment after they die. This simplistic, selective, and horrifying perception of hell is due in large part to nearly 400 years of the King James Version’s monopoly in English-speaking congregations (not to mention centuries of imaginative religious art). Rather than acknowledge the variety of terms, images, and concepts that the Bible uses for divine judgment, the KJV translators opted to combine them all under the single term «hell.» In truth, the array of biblical pictures and meanings that this one word is expected to convey is so vast that they appear contradictory. For example, is hell a lake of fire or a place of utter darkness? Is it a purifying forge or a torture chamber? Is it exclusion from God’s presence or the consuming fire of God’s glory?

While modern scholarship acknowledges the mis- or over-translation of Sheol, Hades, and Gehenna as «hell» — especially if by «hell» we refer automatically to the eternal punishment of the wicked in conscious torment in a lake of fire — the thoroughly discussed limitations of hell language and imagery have been slow to permeate the theology of pulpits and pews in much of the church. Why the reluctance? Do we resist out of ignorance? Or are we afraid that abandoning infernalism implies abandoning faithfulness to Scripture and sound doctrine? After all, for so long we #Quote by Bradley Jersak

#23. If a life can have a ‘theme-song’ — and I believe every worthwhile one has — mine is [best] expressed in one word: Individualism. #Quote by Ayn Rand

#24. In the whole world, only the English language gives the most accurate and clear description of a woman. Only one word defines our whole being. That is «Female.» The first two letters «Fe,» coming from Latin word Ferrum, in the periodic table indicate iron and «male» means man. «Female» because our gender is as solid as iron. We can go through the fire, water, endless trials, but remain as strong as before. #Quote by Ash Gabrieli

#25. James spoke first. «Hey.»
God. One word, and my cheeks heated. It might have helped if he hadn’t looked like he wanted to drag me across the table and kiss the hell out of me. How had this become my life? Not that I was complaining. Really, really not complaining. #Quote by Jennifer Cosgrove

#26. Tobacco smoke is the one element in which, by our European manners, men can sit silent together without embarrassment, and where no man is bound to speak one word more than he has actually and veritably got to say. Nay, rather every man is admonished and enjoined by the laws of honor, and even of personal ease, to stop short of that point; and at all events to hold his peace and take to his pipe again the instant he has spoken his meaning, if he chance to have any. #Quote by Thomas Carlyle

#27. The volumes, the surfaces, the lines-in one word, the structures that build a tectonic construction-do not represent the whole picture: there is also the movement that animated and still animates these bodies because the history continues and we live under no particular privileged conditions at any given time in this great process. #Quote by Emile Argand

#28. Nothing can be more depressing than to expose, naked to the light of thought, the hideous growth of argot. Indeed it is like a sort of repellent animal intended to dwell in darkness which has been dragged out of its cloaca. One seems to see a horned and living creature viciously struggling to be restored to the place where it belongs. One word is like a claw, another like a sightless and bleeding eye; and there are phrases which clutch like the pincers of a crab. And all of it is alive with the hideous vitality of things that have organized themselves amid disorganization. #Quote by Victor Hugo

#29. Cope had caused office ripples when he first took over as county prosecutor and stunned all by promoting Muse to be his county chief investigator. The job was usually given to a gruff old-timer, always male, who was supposed to show the political appointee through the system. Loren Muse was one of the youngest investigators in the department when he selected her. When asked by the media what criteria he had used to select a young female over more seasoned male veterans, he answered in one word: «Merit.» Now here she was, in a room with four of those same passed-by old-timers. «I #Quote by Harlan Coben

#30. Never use one word when two will do. #Quote by Thomas Jefferson

#31. Follow me, one word then another, one sentence then another, one death then another. Don’t hesitate. Keep moving forward with me through the night. It won’t take long. Don’t look back. #Quote by David Almond

#32. The Jury had each formed a different view
Long before the indictment was read
And they all spoke at once so that none of them knew
One word that the other had said #Quote by Lewis Carroll

#33. You can sum up the game of baseball in one word: ‘You never know.’ #Quote by Joaquin Andujar

#34. Transportation from One Place to Another

Once whilst Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jilani (r.a) was delivering one of his spiritually enlightening lectures, a person by the name of Abul Mu’aali was present in this gathering. He was seated directly in front of the great Saint. During the course of the lecture, Abul Mu’aali found that he needed to answer the call of nature (relieve himself). He tried to suppress this need because he found it disrespectful to leave the gathering of al-Ghawth al-A’zam (r.a) He controlled the urge to the best of his ability, but when he could not do so any longer, he decided to leave. As he was about to stand, he saw the great Ghawth (r.a) walking down the first stair of the pulpit (Mimbar) onto the second stair. As the Saint came to the second stair, Abul Mu’aali saw an image of the great Saint on the mimbar. Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jilani (r.a) came down to him and threw his shawl over him.

As this happened, Abul Mu’aali found that he was no longer in the gathering, but rather in a valley with beautiful lush vegetation. It was beautified even more by a stream, which flowed through it. He immediately answered the call of nature, performed Wudhu and then prayed two Rakaats Salaah. As he completed the Salaah, Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jilani (r.a) pulled the shawl off him. When Abul Mu’aali looked, he found to his amazement that he was still in the gathering of the great Saint (r.a) and he had not even missed one word of the lecture of the great Sa #Quote by Hazrat Shaykh Sayyid Abdul Kadir Jilani

#35. Love can be defined with one word.
YOU. #Quote by Anthony T. Hincks

#36. For every Scott Fitzgerald concerned with the precise word and the selection of relevant incident, there are a hundred American writers, many well-regarded, who appear to believe that one word is just as good as another and that everything which occurs to them is worth putting down. #Quote by Gore Vidal

#37. It don’t take no great skill to write down a story. All you have to do is put one word after the next and you continue like that until it done. But it take a special skill to hear a story-to incline your ears toward what may seem like silence. For nothing in this world is silent, you just have to learn how to hear. #Quote by Kei Miller

#38. Communicators need to figure out how well do they engage people, and they should not talk one word longer than people are engaged. #Quote by Andy Stanley

#39. The Gospels and the Epistles say next to nothing about emotional stability or midlife crises or a bad day at work. But they are practically overflowing with this one word: hope. #Quote by Ted Dekker

#40. One word. All you’ve been saying is quite right, I shouldn’t wonder. I’m a chap who always liked to know the worst and then put the best face I can on it. So I won’t deny any of what you said. But there’s one more thing to be said, even so. Suppose we have only dreamed, or made up, all those things-trees and grass and sun and moon and stars and Aslan himself. Suppose we have. Then all I can say is that, in that case, the made-up things seem a good deal more important than the real ones. Suppose this black pit of a kingdom of yours is the only world. Well, it strikes me as a pretty poor one. And that’s a funny thing, when you come to think of it. We’re just babies making up a game, if you’re right. But four babies playing a game can make a play-world which licks your real world hollow. That’s why I’m going to stand by the play world. I’m on Aslan’s side even if there isn’t any Aslan to lead it. I’m going to live as like a Narnian as I can even if there isn’t any Narnia. So, thanking you kindly for our supper, if these two gentlemen and the young lady are ready, we’re leaving your court at once and setting out in the dark to spend our lives looking for Overland. Not that our lives will be very long, I should think; but that’s a small loss if the world’s as dull a place as you say. #Quote by C.S. Lewis

#41. Lying asleep between the strokes of night
I saw my love lean over my sad bed,
Pale as the duskiest lily’s leaf or head,
Smooth-skinned and dark, with bare throat made to bite,
Too wan for blushing and too warm for white,
But perfect-coloured without white or red.
And her lips opened amorously, and said
I wist not what, saving one word
Delight.
And all her face was honey to my mouth,
And all her body pasture to my eyes;
The long lithe arms and hotter hands than fire,
The quivering flanks, hair smelling of the south,
The bright light feet, the splendid supple thighs
And glittering eyelids of my soul’s desire. #Quote by Algernon Charles Swinburne

#42. Some things are in our control and others not. Things in our control are opinion, pursuit, desire, aversion, and, in a word, whatever are our own actions. Things not in our control are body, property, reputation, command, and, in one word, whatever are not our actions. The things in our control are by nature free, unrestrained, unhindered; but those not in our control are weak, slavish, restrained, belonging to others. Remember, then, that if you suppose that things which are slavish by nature are also free, and that what belongs to others is your own, then you will be hindered. You will lament, you will be disturbed, and you will find fault both with gods and men. But if you suppose that only to be your own which is your own, and what belongs to others such as it really is, then no one will ever compel you or restrain you. Further, you will find fault with no one or accuse no one. You will do nothing against your will. No one will hurt you, you will have no enemies, and you not be harmed. #Quote by Epictetus

#43. Live your life by just one word and that is reciprocity. #Quote by Debasish Mridha

#44. I’m going to make a film where not one word is really important. I’m going to make it all action. #Quote by Elia Kazan

#45. I had made my mind up that since I was not going to be a Negro, I would avail myself of every possible opportunity to make a white man’s success; and that, if it can be summed up in any one word, means «money. #Quote by James Weldon Johnson

One singer does not make a band.
One actor does not make an ensemble.
One participant does not make a contest.

One stroke does not make a portrait.

One finger does not make a hand.
One toe does not make a foot.
One lip does not make a voice.
One member does not make a body.
One cell does not make a being.

One memory does not make an experience.

#47. I don’t remember much about what he said because my head was trying to deal with that one word» the future! He kept using it … » our future» «the country’s future», «a wonderful future of peace and prosperity.» What does he really mean, I keep asking myself. Why does my heart go hard and tight as a stone when he says it? I look around me in the location at the men and women who went out into that wonderful future before me. What do I see? Happy and contented shareholders in this in this exciting enterprise called the Republic of South Africa? No. I see a generation of tired, defeated men and women crawling back to their miserable little pondoks at the end of a day’s work for the white baas or madam. And those are the lucky ones. They’ve at least got work. Most of them are just sitting around wasting away their lives while they wait helplessly for a miracle to feed their families, a miracle that never comes. #Quote by Athol Fugard

#48. The kingdom of heaven is for the heirs — and if children, then heirs; if born again, then heirs. Wherefore it is said expressly, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. By this one word, down goes all carnal privilege of being born of flesh and blood, and of the will of man. Canst thou produce the birthright? #Quote by John Bunyan

#49. Still, she assured herself as she unpacked her suitcase on the bed, Marx wrote his Manifesto one word at a time, with but pen and ink. Modest tools that moved a world! So shall we. #Quote by Mercedes Lackey

#50. In recovery, it’s all about putting one foot in front of the other. As a writer, it’s all about putting one word next to another on a page. #Quote by Jennifer Storm

#51. Avoidance sounds like such a harmless word, but that one word can cause some severe damage to a relationship. #Quote by Colleen Hoover

#52. There was one great tomb more lordly than all the rest; huge it was, and nobly proportioned. On it was but one word, DRACULA. #Quote by Bram Stoker

#53. A man-made thing that produces pleasure (and criticism) by somehow taping into the order of the universe is beautiful. Making beautiful things makes our lives worthwhile. My teacher, and one of the founders of the Pratt industrial design program, Rowena Reed Kostellow, said, «Pure, unadulterated beauty should be the goal of civilization.» From a pragmatic point of view, for something to be beautiful, it has to work. In order to make this idea clearer I have combined the ideas of beauty and function into one word: Beautility. #Quote by Tucker Viemeister

#54. Whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him (Hebrews 11:6, emphasis added). Call that payoff contentment, satisfaction, peace, or excitement — it all adds up to one word: happiness #Quote by Randy Alcorn

#55. If I were asked to name, in one word, the pole star round which the mathematical firmament revolves, the central idea which pervades the whole corpus of mathematical doctrine, I should point to Continuity as contained in our notions of space, and say, it is this, it is this! #Quote by James Joseph Sylvester

#56. English was such a dense, tight language. So many hard letters, like miniature walls. Not open with vowels the way Spanish was. Our throats open, our mouths open, our hearts open. In English, the sounds were closed. They thudded to the floor. And yet, there was something magnificent about it. Profesora Shields explained that in English there was no usted, no tu. There was only one word — you. It applied to all people. No one more distant or more familiar. You. They. Me. I. Us. We. There were no words that changed from feminine to masculine and back again depending on the speaker. A person was from New York. Not a woman from New York, not a man from New York. Simply a person. #Quote by Cristina Henriquez

#57. She listens, determined to locate the trapped bird that had called out from within the madness of suffering. But there is only silence now, not even a halting fragment. Ali! Ali! A dervish, having renounced dealings with all words except that one, never utters another, in any circumstance … The sentence enters her mind from a book she had been looking at earlier. Her gaze is drifting across the sky where the moon sits in a great cold ring as she recalls more and more words. Only one thing matters, only one word. If we speak, it is because we have not found that thing, nor shall find it. #Quote by Nadeem Aslam

#58. Until recently, over 98 percent of teachers just got one word of feedback: Satisfactory. If all my bridge coach ever told me was that I was ‘satisfactory,’ I would have no hope of ever getting better. #Quote by Bill Gates

#59. your Life is cover by only one word ‘IS’, everything else is Just Unnecessary Happening By Your Mind. #Quote by Sushil Singh

#60. One word more. You look as if you thought it tainted you to be
loved by me. You cannot avoid it. Nay, I, if I would, cannot
cleanse you from it. But I would not, if I could. I have never
loved any woman before: my life has been too busy, my thoughts
too much absorbed with other things. Now I love, and will love.
But do not be afraid of too much expression on my part. #Quote by Elizabeth Gaskell

#61. If God ever commands the spirit of wisdom to depart from me, well, I reckon that I’ll never be able to compose the written word again. Not in music, and not in literature. If there is a blank page before me, it wouldn’t matter if my right hand held a thousand dollar ink pen from the House of Montblanc, or an ink pen branded Paper Mate, not one word would be jotted from the ink of either or, and the page would remain blank. («Primary Blog: The Final Post at the Boutique Domain,» 2015) #Quote by Cat Ellington

#62. Lord God, You are the Hound of heaven who hunts the lost down and captures us with grace. Today, make me the hound of now who hunts for glory and captures joy with just that one word: Thanks. #Quote by Ann Voskamp

#63. If there’s one word that sums up everything that’s gone wrong since the war, it’s Workshop. After Youth, that is. #Quote by Kingsley Amis

#64. I can edit into infinity. It’s such a joy. I’d probably edit until the last word. Until there’s only one word left. #Quote by Yvonne Adhiambo Owuor

#65. And now I see the face of god, and I raise this god over the earth, this god whom men have sought since men came into being, this god who will grant them joy and peace and pride. This god, this one word: ‘I. #Quote by Ayn Rand

#66. One word defines the essence of surfing better for me than any other — stoke . One of the best things about stoke is that you can pass it along to someone who has never heard the expression. #Quote by Shaun Tomson

#67. A useful word previously unknown to me: ‘ergophobia’, meaning ‘fear or hatred of work’. At last I can define myself in one word. #Quote by Kenneth Tynan

#68. Writing is like bricklaying; you put down one word after another. Sometimes the wall goes up straight and true and sometimes it doesn’t and you have to push it down and start again, but you don’t stop; it’s your trade. #Quote by Geraldine Brooks

#69. Lady Gaga listens to me. Her mantra is only one word — ‘Bikram’ — because Bikram makes her what she is today. It works. #Quote by Bikram Choudhury

#70. Just Keep Writing! Who cares if it’s a Saturday, or if you left your laptop at home, or if you’re around people? Just write one word, one line, jot down one idea. No matter how little you write, it’s movement in the right direction. Forward. Toward completion. #Quote by Tammy Ferebee

#71. One word from the Lord is like a piece of gold to a believer, who is like a jeweler, shaping and hammering out the promise for a number of weeks. #Quote by Charles Spurgeon

#72. The one word that Newfoundland has given the world is penguin. No one has any idea what inspired it. #Quote by Bill Bryson

#73. I will tell you another thing that would be better, and that is, if I myself believe even an iota of what I have just written. I swear to you, gentlemen, that I do not really believe one thing, not even one word, of what I have just written. That is, I believe it, perhaps, but at the same time, I feel suspect that I am lying myself blue in the face. #Quote by Fyodor Dostoyevsky

#74. Ty.» It was only one word, but a gruff plea that said everything. I lifted my gaze from his lips to his eyes and saw the hurt in them, the miss, the need. Need that I couldn’t step away from. Need that I felt in every part of my body. «Take me somewhere, Chase. #Quote by Alessandra Torre

#75. One smile can start a friendship. One word can end a fight. One look can save a relationship. One person can change your life. #Quote by Nitya Prakash

#76. A wise man hears one word and understands two. #Quote by Anonymous

#77. Here is the life of prayer, when in or with the Spirit, a man being made sensible of sin, and how to come to the Lord for mercy; he comes, I say, in the strength of the Spirit, and crieth Father. That one word spoken in faith is better than a thousand prayers, as men call them, written and read, in a formal, cold, lukewarm way. #Quote by John Bunyan

#78. Please. It’s one word, but the way I say it means so much more. Please don’t say anything. Please don’t look at me. Please don’t hurt me. Please just stay away. Please. #Quote by Carey Heywood

#79. Fundamentalist Christianity: fascinating. These people actually believe that the world is twelve thousand years old. Swear to God. Based on what? I asked them.

«Well, we looked at all the people in the Bible and we added ’em up all the way back to Adam and Eve, their ages? Twelve thousand years.»
«Well, how fucking scientific, OK. I didn’t know that you’d gone to so much trouble there. That’s good. You believe the world’s twelve thousand years old?»
«That’s right.»
«OK, I got one word to ask you, a one word question, ready?»
«Uh huh.»
«Dinosaurs.»

You know, the world’s twelve thousand years old and dinosaurs existed, and existed in that time, you’d think it would been mentioned in the fucking Bible at some point:

And O, Jesus and the disciples walked to Nazareth. But the trail was blocked by a giant brontosaurus… with a splinter in its paw. And the disciples did run a-screamin’. «What a big fucking lizard, Lord!»
«I’m sure gonna mention this in my book,» Luke said.
«Well, I’m sure gonna mention it in my book,» Matthew said.
But Jesus was unafraid. And he took the splinter from the brontosaurus paw, and the brontosaurus became his friend. And Jesus sent him to Scotland where he lived in a loch, O so many years, attracting fat American families with their fat fuckin’ dollars to look for the Loch Ness Monster. And O the Scots did praise the Lord: «Thank you, Lord! Thank you, Lord!»

#83. With the super duper flow, I created that one word rhyme style. #Quote by Big Sean

#84. I’d been making desicions for days.
I picked out the dress Bailey would wear forever-
a black slinky one- innapropriate- that she loved.
I chose a sweater to go over it, earrings, bracelet, necklace,
her most beloved strappy sandals.
I collected her makeup to give to the funeral director with a recent photo-
I thought it would be me that would dress her;
I didn’t think a strange man should see her naked
touch her body
shave her legs
apply her lipstick
but that’s what happened all the same.
I helped Gram pick out the casket,
the plot at the cemetery.
I changed a few lines
in the obituary that Big composed.
I wrote on a piece of paper what I thought
should go on the headstone.
I did all this without uttering a word.
Not one word, for days,
until I saw Bailey before the funeral
and lost my mind.
I hadn’t realized that when people say so-and-so
snapped
that’s what actually happens-
I started shaking her-
I thought I could wake her up
and get her the hell out of that box.
When she didn’t wake,
I screamed: Talk to me.
Big swooped me up in his arms,
carried me out of the room, the church,
into the slamming rain,
and down to the creek
where we sobbed together
under the black coat he held over our heads
to protect us from the weather. #Quote by Jandy Nelson

#85. Chris. What do you want, child?»

I sighed and walked another three steps forward. I stared into his eyes and spoke the one word that terrified him, «Democracy. #Quote by Yanan Melo

#86. The very word virus began as a contradiction. We inherited the word from the Roman Empire, where it meant, at once, the venom of a snake or the semen of a man. Creation and destruction in one word. #Quote by Carl Zimmer

#87. Christ never wrote a solitary word of the New Testament — not one word. There is an account that he once stooped and wrote something in the sand, but that has not been preserved. He never told anybody to write a word. #Quote by Robert G. Ingersoll

#88. This is how you do it: you sit down at the keyboard and you put one word after another until its done. It’s that easy, and that hard. #Quote by Neil Gaiman

#89. Bill Gates is a very rich man today … and do you want to know why? The answer is one word: versions. #Quote by Dave Barry

#90. You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word. It is victory, victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory, however long and hard the road may be; for without victory, there is no survival. #Quote by Winston S. Churchill

#91. You never hear Jesus say in Pilate’s judgement hall one word that would let you imagine that He was sorry that He had undertaken so costly a sacrifice for us. When His hands are pierced, when He is parched with fever, His tongue dried up like a shard of pottery, when His whole body is dissolved into the dust of death, you never hear a groan or a shriek that looks like Jesus is going back on His commitment. #Quote by Charles Spurgeon

#92. Not one word about hell in the Bible would ever make you want to go there. #Quote by Billy Graham

#93. I know exactly what I want. Everything. Calm, peace, tranquility, freedom, fun, happiness. If I could make all that one word, I would — a many-syllabled word. #Quote by Johnny Depp

#94. To be real on this path you must be humble —
If you look down at others you’ll get pushed down the stairs.

If your heart goes around on high, you fly far from this path.
There’s no use hiding it —
What’s inside always leaks outside.

Even the one with the long white beard, the one who looks so wise —
If he breaks a single heart, why bother going to Mecca?
If he has no compassion, what’s the point?

My heart is the throne of the Beloved,
the Beloved the heart’s destiny:
Whoever breaks another’s heart will find no homecoming
in this world or any other.

The ones who know say very little
while the beasts are always speaking volumes;
One word is enough for one who knows.

If there is any meaning in the holy books, it is this:
Whatever is good for you, grant it to others too —

Whoever comes to this earth migrates back;
Whoever drinks the wine of love
understands what I say —

Yunus, don’t look down at the world in scorn —

Keep your eyes fixed on your Beloved’s face,
then you will not see the bridge
on Judgment Day. #Quote by Yunus Emre

#95. The work saved me. I clung to it like flotsam in a boiling sea. It was the only solitary sport that I ever played, or was any good at. It felt natural to sit at my computer and type and type some more. For entire minutes, while writing, I could forget the godawful thing that had happened. I could forget that nothing really mattered anymore. Perhaps, if I set my sights low, I could care again about some small thing. I would type a word. One word. Then another. I started to care about the words, then entire sentences … #Quote by Rheta Grimsley Johnson

#96. Babylon, Learned and wise, hath perished utterly, Nor leaves her speech one word to aid the sigh That would lament her. #Quote by William Wordsworth

#97. One does not argue about The Wind in the Willows. The young man gives it to the girl with whom he is in love, and, if she does not like it, asks her to return his letters. The older man tries it on his nephew, and alters his will accordingly. The book is a test of character. We can’t criticize it, because it is criticizing us. But I must give you one word of warning. When you sit down to it, don’t be so ridiculous as to suppose that you are sitting in judgment on my taste, or on the art of Kenneth Grahame. You are merely sitting in judgment on yourself. You may be worthy: I don’t know, But it is you who are on trial. #Quote by A.A. Milne

#98. Her voice never stops: even when I sleep, it is a shining silver thread running through most of my dreams and all my nightmares, whispering, beseeching, threatening: One word from you is all I want. Just speak one word, and we’ll begin. Name, rank, and serial number, perhaps the misquoted lyrics from a popular song: anything will do. From there we’ll move with slow cautious steps to gentle verbal sparring, twice-told tales, descriptions of the scarred and darkest places of our old and worn-out souls. I’ll love you back; I’ll tell you secrets — #Quote by Dexter Palmer

#99. Nor can one word be chang’d but for a worse. #Quote by Homer

#100. How, you may ask yourself, did he do it? One word. That’s all you really need to know. Poison. #Quote by Suzanne Collins

#101. Mama, I said, and then the crying came. I had not cried since I was sentenced and I had humiliated myself before a judge who didn’t care. On that horrible day, my snotty sobbing had merged with Celestial and Olive’s morning accompaniment. Now I suffered a cappella; the weeping burned my throat like when you vomit strong liquor. That one word, Mama, was my only prayer as I phrased on the ground like I was feeling the Holy Ghost, only what I was going through wasn’t rapture. I spasmed on that cold black earth in pain, physical pain. My joints hurt; I experienced what felt like a baton against the back of my head. It was like I relived every injury of my life.. The pain went on until it didn’t. and I say up, dirty and spent. #Quote by Tayari Jones

#102. One word, one gesture, and all that is pent up in you — festered resentments, gangrenous jealousies, superfluous desires — unfulfilled — all that will burst out of you in angry impotent tears — in embarrassed sobbing and blubbering to no one in particular. No arms will enfold you, no voice will say, ‘There, There. Sleep and forget.’ No, in your new and horrible independence you feel the dangerous premonitory ache, arising from little sleep and taut strung nerves, and a feeling that the cards have been stacked high against you this once, and that they are still being heaped up. An outlet you need, and they are sealed. You live night and day in the dark cramped prison you have made for yourself. #Quote by Sylvia Plath

#103. One word ‘love’ has to do service for so many different kinds of the same animal. #Quote by Lawrence Durrell

#104. In fact, I argue that the future of advertising, whatever the technology, will be to associate each brand with one word. This is one word equity. It’s the modern equivalent of having the best site on the high street, except the location is in the mind. #Quote by Maurice Saatchi

#105. Horrible sense of humor?» Hunter’s eyes twinkled as he engaged in our banter. «Compared to your one-word witticisms, I’m a fountain of entertainment. #Quote by Katherine McIntyre

#106. If you had to explain America’s economic success with one word, that word would be «education» … Until now, the results of educational neglect have been gradual — a slow-motion erosion of America’s relative position. But things are about to get much worse, as the economic crisis … deals a severe blow to education across the board … We need to wake up and realize that one of the keys to our nation’s historic success is now a wasting asset. Education made America great; neglect of education can reverse the process. #Quote by Paul Krugman

#107. If there was one word on a motivation or world view, that one word would be ‘liberty.’ That’s what inspires me and motivates me more than anything — just the concept of freedom, liberty, what it means. #Quote by Michele Bachmann

#108. I’m hungry.’
‘Me too.’
‘Will you get us something to eat?’
‘I suppose I could take a look around. Maybe find a baby bird or a dead squirrel, or something. One word about a quiche, and I’ll kill you.’
‘While you’re up there, try to find some nice, soft grasses we can sit on and be more comfortable.’
‘Yes, comrade.
…
Here. I found some eggs to suck on.’
‘Did you remember to get the grasses?’
‘No. I forgot.’
‘Are you going to get the grasses?’
‘Can I eat first?’
‘I don’t know why you say you’ll do things if you don’t mean it.’
‘I MEANT it! I just FORGOT!’
‘You can get the grasses after you finish eating.’
‘Thank you.’
‘And try to find some water. We’re going to need water if we plan on hiding out here.’
‘YES COMRADE! ANYTHING ELSE?’

…

‘Y’know, we could’ve had these eggs in a quiche! #Quote by Jeff Smith

#109. An avalanche starts with one pebble. A forest with one seed. And it takes one word to make the whole world stop and listen. All you need is the right one. #Quote by Jay Kristoff

#110. When the conspiracy of lies surrounding me demands of me to silence the one word of truth given to me, that word becomes the one word I wish to utter above all others. #Quote by Andre Brink

#111. What is the good of words if they aren’t important enough to quarrel over? Why do we choose one word more than another if there isn’t any difference between them? If you called a woman a chimpanzee instead of an angel, wouldn’t there be a quarrel about a word? If you’re not going to argue about words, what are you going to argue about? Are you going to convey your meaning to me by moving your ears? The Church and the heresies always used to fight about words, because they are the only thing worth fighting about. #Quote by G.K. Chesterton

#112. Picture the rest of your life without Del and give me a one word description of it.»
«I can’t decide between bleak or pathetic,» Tyler admitted finally. «There you go. #Quote by Shayla Black

#113. A song fluttered down in the form of a dove,
And it bore me a message, the one word-Love! #Quote by Paul Laurence Dunbar

#114. I slipped it into your papers to see if you would notice. The Zen master Ikkyu was once asked to write a distillation of the highest wisdom. He wrote only one word: Attention. #Quote by Jenny Offill

#115. And in his weariness, only one word came to Jonathan, like a prayer. Tommy, he thought, invoking what was good and real. Tommy. The word for love in his world right now. Tommy. And he supposed the word that occurred to you in your darkest moments … well, that word meant love. That was perhaps how you knew. And perhaps that was the purpose of dark moments. #Quote by Julie Anne Long

#116. By the way, Doc Edwards said. How’s that book coming along?
Oh, it’s coming along.
Fine. What’s it about?
Just what I’m writing down: one word after another.

#117. There is no need to rush in life. Just with one word at a time, your sweet life history will be written boldly in capitals and highlighted for easy access. Be sure you are passing the test of patience! #Quote by Israelmore Ayivor

#118. You ask for too much, Iain,» she murmured. «More than I can give.»
«Do I?»
Movement against her made her pause, made her stiffen as she felt him press forward, felt his body shift until his back and shoulders were pressing indecently against her belly and his head was turned, the curve of his cheek lying on her lap.
«Can you give me this, Beth? Just one moment to lie here and close my eyes, and feel you beneath me, soft and curved?»
«And what would you find?» she asked, her voice little more than a breathless whisper.
«Solace.»
Closing her eyes, she bit hard on her lip, trying not to weaken against that one word. There had been no hesitation when he said it. It was as if he’d known it — what he’d desired all along, a feeling of tranquility. Peace. Rightness.
Her hand hovered over his head, her fingers itching to touch, to run her fingers through his hair, which would be damp with snow. What picture did they make, seated on this bench, a tempest of white swirling around them as he laid his head in her lap? #Quote by Charlotte Featherstone

#119. You say you cannot love God; but it strikes me that if you rightly consider who and what He is, you cannot help it. He is your father, your best friend: every blessing, everything good, pleasant, or useful, comes from Him; and everything evil, everything you have reason to hate, to shun, or to fear, comes from Satan- HIS enemy as well as ours. And for this cause was God manifest in the flesh, that He might destroy the works of the Devil: in one word, God is love; and the more of love we have within us, the nearer we are to Him and the more of His spirit we possess. #Quote by Anne Bronte

#120. I said only one word, brought only one message: Love. Love — nothing else. #Quote by Nikos Kazantzakis

#121. But if I were to sum up who Barack Obama is and how he plans to meet this moment with one word, that word would be ‘responsibility.’ Responsibility to each other, our families, our communities, our country, and our world. #Quote by Valerie Jarrett

#122. The secret of joy in work is contained in one word-excellence. To know how to do something well is to enjoy it. #Quote by Pearl S. Buck

#123. ALL THESE WORDS FROM THE SELLER, BUT NOT ONE WORD FROM THE SOLD.»»

«All these words from the seller, but not one word from the sold. The Kings and Captains whose words moved ships. But not one word from the cargo. The thoughts of the «black ivory,» the «coin of Africa,» had no market value. Africa’s ambassadors to the New World have come and worked and died, and left their spoor, but no recorded thought. #Quote by Zora Neale Hurston

#124. The word that comes to mind is ‘beefcake’, Zane drawled, looking Ty over, appreciating the view
«Mission accomplished then!» Ty said happily as he turned around to face Zane again. He frowned suddenly. «Is beefcake one word or two?»
Zane laughed. «Who cares when you’ve got a great ass? #Quote by Abigail Roux

#125. I only know one word. It means friend. I said it in her ear ‘Sora. Sora. Sora.'»
«And who taught you this Charynite word for friend?»
«Phaedra of Alonso did. She said it was the prettiest word in Charyn.»
And Lucien ached to hear those words. #Quote by Melina Marchetta

#126. The language of the culture also reflects the stories of the culture. One word or simple phrasal labels often describe the story adequately enough in what we have termed culturally common stories. To some extent, the stories of a culture are observable by inspecting the vocabulary of that culture. Often entire stories are embodied in one very culture-specific word. The story words unique to a culture reveal cultural differences. #Quote by Roger Schank

#127. If there is one word that describes the meaning of character, it is the word honor. Without honor, civilization would not long exist. Without honor, there could be no dependable contracts, no lasting marriages, no trust or happiness. What does the word honor mean to you? To me, honor is summarized in this expression by the poet Tennyson, «Man’s word [of honor] is God in man.» #Quote by Ezra Taft Benson

#128. Man may deceive his fellow-men, deception may follow deception, and the children of the wicked one may have power to seduce the foolish and untaught, till naught but fiction feeds the many, and the fruit of falsehood carries in its current the giddy to the grave; but one touch with the finger of his love, yes, one ray of glory from the upper world, or one word from the mouth of the Savior, from the bosom of eternity, strikes it all into insignificance, and blots it forever from the mind. (Messenger and Advocate Oct 1934 pp 14-16) #Quote by Oliver Cowdery

#129. All you have to do is put one word after another, and remember how great it feels to be a writer. #Quote by Stephanie Lennox

#130. Triumphantly, he announced their deaths to the cheering crowd in a famous one-word euphemism: vixere, ‘they have lived’ – that is, ‘they’re dead’. #Quote by Mary Beard

#131. What you feel in the presence of a thing you admire is just one word — ‘Yes.’ The affirmation, the acceptance, the sign of admittance. #Quote by Ayn Rand

#132. But as a child of God, there is something especially encouraging you need to remember today: God can do more in one moment than you can do in a lifetime. There is no situation that intimidates Him. There is no mess, no dysfunction, no abuse, no pain that He can’t heal. One word from God, one moment in His presence, can change the entire course of your life. #Quote by Joyce Meyer

#133. Not one word of the following is true #Quote by Stephen Fry

#134. If I could define myself in one word it would be «hopeful #Quote by Troy Smith

#135. Sir, money, money, the most charming of all things; money, which will say more in one moment than the most elegant lover can in years. Perhaps you will say a man is not young; I answer he is rich. He is not genteel, handsome, witty, brave, good-humored, but he is rich, rich, rich, rich, rich -that one word contradicts everything you can say against him. #Quote by Henry Fielding

#136. I am sure,» cried Catherine, «I did not mean to say anything wrong; but it is a nice book, and why should not I call it so?»
«Very true,» said Henry, «and this is a very nice day, and we are taking a very nice walk, and you are two very nice young ladies. Oh! It is a very nice word indeed! It does for everything. Originally perhaps it was applied only to express neatness, propriety, delicacy, or refinement — people were nice in their dress, in their sentiments, or their choice. But now every commendation on every subject is comprised in that one word. #Quote by Jane Austen

#137. You are too generous to trifle with me. If your feelings are still what they were last April, tell me so at once. My affections and wishes are unchanged; but one word from you will silence me on this subject for ever. #Quote by Jane Austen

#138. STOP DIGGING.’ The letters on the mirror were etched in my memory. Now, as I finished my make-up with a swipe of lip-gloss, I huffed on the mirror, and wrote in the steam obscuring my reflection one word: ‘NO’. #Quote by Ruth Ware

#139. Everything — our lives, our loves, our futures — hinges on one word alone: IF. #Quote by A.G. Howard

#140. Okay, I got one word to ask you, a one word question, ready? #Quote by Bill Hicks

#141. What happens when lying and stealing and immorality and murder become the norm? The result can be summarized in one word: chaos. #Quote by Billy Graham

#142. He finished quickly, closed my fingers into my palm and kissed them. I slowly uncurled them to read his message, which was written boldly across the expanse of my palm. One word that screamed a whole lot more.
MINE. #Quote by Kimberly Lauren

#143. Wow, so he’d been called queer. It hurt, of course it did, he’d done nothing wrong. He was no different to the person he was twenty-four hours ago, or seven days ago, or a month ago or even a year ago. At least, no different in any way that counted. He didn’t hurt people, steal or manipulate. He was a good person. He knew that, his friends knew that, his family knew that. He wasn’t going to let one word get to him. #Quote by Olley White

#144. Each cell within its atom is a raw, formless idea that exists beyond mortality. It is the wild state constantly creating your world, the one word in a collective equation that is you becoming written from nothing into something — and so it knows, ultimately, annihilation is an essential instrument of becoming new to all that can be known. #Quote by Laurie Perez

#145. Know that all sins and all evils can be summed up in that one word, weakness. It is weakness that is the motive power in all evil doing; it is weakness that makes men injure others; it is weakness that makes them manifest what they are not in reality. Let them know what they really are … #Quote by Swami Vivekananda

#146. The most killer questions in sales: «Mr. Jones, when I say (insert your product, your company, or anything you want an opinion about here) what one word comes to mind?» This is the most powerful question because it not only gives you top of mind awareness (the customer «hot button»), it also tells you their attitude towards it. #Quote by Jeffrey Gitomer

#147. What is good customer service about then?

One word: caring.

Bad customer service happens when the employee doesn’t care.

You could chalk it up to low wages or getting paid regardless of results. But that’s not it either.

Hiring managers need to do two things and two things only:

1. Hire employees that ALREADY care and are ALREADY motivated.

2. Repeat step 1.

When this is done, everything changes.

People are happy on both sides of the table.

Costs for management and training plummet #Quote by Richie Norton

#148. Mark laughed. «You are one strange little man.» Alec stopped and faced him. «That’s what my mama used to say. She’d wake me up in the morning, give me a little kiss and a hug, and she’d say, ‘My sweet Alec. You are one strange little man.’ Got to me every time, right here.» He patted his heart, then rolled his eyes dramatically. «Let’s get to work.» «See?» Mark said as he followed. «Do I need any more proof? Strange. Little. Man. Officially proven.» «You got one word right. I’m definitely a man. I’m all man, baby.» He let out a strangled choking sound that might’ve been a laugh. #Quote by James Dashner

#149. A one-word book does appeal to me. #Quote by Kode9

#150. Poetry is like making a joke. If you get one word wrong at the end of a joke, you’ve lost the whole thing. #Quote by W.S. Merwin

#151. One word was the method by which the state collected their information. They could reel in the informants and spread them out like tentacles, ready to sting in any direction. #Quote by F.C. Malby

#152. The silence in the room was deep as the night itself. Biff stood transfixed, lost in his meditations. Then suddenly he felt a quickening in him. His heart turned and he leaned his back against the counter for support. For in a swift radiance of illumination he saw a glimpse of human struggle and of valour. Of the endless fluid passage of humanity through endless time. And of those who labour and of those who — one word — love. His soul expanded. But for a moment only. For in him he felt a warning, a shaft of terror. Between the two worlds he was suspended … suspended between radiance and darkness, between bitter irony and faith … And would he just stand here like a jittery nanny or would he pull himself together and be reasonable? For after all was he a sensible man or was he not? #Quote by Carson McCullers

#153. Women and horses have a lot in common. Would you like to know what? Fine. Well, if a horse refuses, you’ve phrased your question wrongly. It’s the same with women. Don’t ask them: ‘Shall we go out to dinner?’ Ask: ‘What can I cook for you?’ Can she say no to that? No, she can’t. Instead of whispering instructions to them like you would to a horse — lie down, woman, put your harness on — you should listen to them. Listen to what they want. In fact, they want to be free and to sail across the sky. It takes only one word to hurt a woman, a matter of seconds, one stupid, impatient blow of the crop. But winning back her trust takes years. And sometimes there isn’t the time. It’s amazing how unimpressed people are by being loved when it doesn’t fit in with their plans. Love irks them so much that they change the locks or leave without warning. And when a horse leaves us, Jeanno, we deserve that love as little as when a woman does. They are superior beings to us men. When they love us, then they are being gracious, for only rarely do we give them reason to love us. And that’s why it hurts so much. When women stop loving, men fall into a void of their own making. #Quote by Nina George

#154. Blue Duck could never avoid a moment of fear, when his father’s eyes became the eyes of a snake. He choked off his insult
he knew that if he spoke, he might, in an instant, find himself fighting Buffalo Hump. He had seen it before, with other warriors. Someone would say one word too many, would fail to see the snake in his father’s eyes, and the next moment Buffalo Hump would be pulling his long bloody knife from between the other warrior’s ribs.
Blue Duck waited. He knew that it was not a day to fight his father. #Quote by Larry McMurtry

#155. Jesus Christ, as he is attested to us in Holy Scripture, is the one Word of God whom we have to hear, and whom we have to trust and obey in life and in death. #Quote by Karl Barth

#156. What are the secret of success?

#157. Then we danced the tune through again, without saying one word — indeed, we never spoke all the time we were dancing. I can’t remember that I even thought. I seemed to move with a pleasure that was mindless. #Quote by Dodie Smith

#158. And also celebrate the Skill of the Scythians in that Art, who sent once to Darius King of Persia an Embassador that made him a present of a Bird, a Frog, a Mouse, and five Arrows, without speaking one word; and being ask’d what those Presents meant, and if he had Commission to say any thing, answer’d that he had not; Which puzzl’d and gravell’d Darius very much; till Gobrias, one of the seven Captains that had kil’d the Magi explain’d it, saying to Darius, By these Gifts and Offerings the Scythians silently tell you, that except the Persians like Birds fly up to Heaven, like Mice hide themselves near the Centre of the Earth, or like Frogs dive to the very bottom of Ponds and Lakes, they shall be destroyed by the Power and Arrows of the Scythians. #Quote by Francois Rabelais

#159. One line lands in a word and one word

there you have it the secret of poetry #Quote by Daniel Abdal-Hayy Moore

#160. If we were given one word of information in our entire history, how we’d treasure it! how we’d pore over ever syllable, divining it’s meaning, arguing its importance; how we’d examine it and wring every lesson we could from it. Yet today we have trillions of words, tidal waves of information and the smallest detail of every action our government and businesses take is easily available to us at the touch of a button. And yet … we ignore it, and learn nothing from it. One day we’ll die of voluntary ignorance #Quote by Karen Traviss

#161. Just as the witticism brings two very different real objects under one concept, the pun brings two different concepts, by the assistance of accident, under one word. #Quote by Arthur Schopenhauer

#162. And then she kissed him on the mouth. It was one of those Russian kisses, the sort that are exchanged in that vast, soulful land at high Christian feasts, as a token and seal of love. But even as we record this kiss exchanged between a notoriously «subtle» young man and a charming, slinking, and still equally young woman, we cannot help finding in it a reminder of Dr. Krokowski’s elaborate, if not always unobjectionable way of speaking about love in a gently irresolute sense, so that one was never quite sure whether he meant its sanctified or more passionate and fleshly forms. Are we doing the same thing here, or were Hans Castorp and Clavdia Chauchat doing the same with their Russian kiss? But what would be our readers’ reaction if we simply refused to get to the bottom of that question? In our opinion, it is analytically correct, although — to use Hans Castorp’s phrase — «terribly gauche» and downright life-denying, to make a «tidy» distinction between sanctity and passion in matters of love. What’s this about «tidy»? What’s this about gentle irresolution and ambiguity? Isn’t it grand, isn’t it good, that language has only one word for everything we associate with love – from utter sanctity to the most fleshly lust? The result is perfect clarity in ambiguity, for love cannot be disembodied even in its most sanctified forms, nor is it without sanctity even at its most fleshly. Love is always simply itself, both as a subtle affirmation of life and as the highest passion; love #Quote by Thomas Mann

#163. But why so I call her Virgin if I don’t believe in her as the Mother of God? One word: touched. God has touched her. That is both grace and torment; it raises up and strikes down; it is both a caress and the blow of a hammer. All is lost and God suffices. #Quote by Navid Kermani

#164. Please could I say one word?» was the question three times repeated before a rough head boobed out from the grotto of books in which Mac usually sat. «Did anyone speak?» he asked, blinking in teh flood of sunshine that entered with Rose. «Only three times, thank you. Don’t disturb yourself, I beg; for I merely want to say a word,» answered Rose. #Quote by Louisa May Alcott

#165. The one-word cinema wasn’t possible for me anymore. I’d hit a wall, a dead end. Therefore I thought I’d turn back. #Quote by Abbas Kiarostami

#166. Every great novel begins with a single word. One word, followed by another and another and another. Sentences forming paths to that dream. #Quote by Pamela Morris

#167. If any of you should ask me for an epitome of the Christian religion, I should say that it is in one word — prayer. Live and die without prayer, and you will pray long enough when you get to hell. #Quote by Charles Spurgeon

#168. Anthony, she had said, and with that one word,had given him not only herself but a new, better edited version of his future. #Quote by Jojo Moyes

#171. When you write a book and leave your readers emotional when they’re done reading it. Then and only then you have connected with your audience. After that there’s only one word left…SUCCESS. #Quote by Jerry Don Nicholes Sr..

#172. There was still something unfinished around her eyes; she wasn’t done yet. She was a story, not an epilogue. And if she chose to narrate her own life one word at a time as she descended the stairs to meet her newest arrival, that wasn’t hurting anyone. Narration was a hard habit to break, after all.
Sometimes it was all a body had. #Quote by Seanan McGuire

#173. I thought Marcus was going to be in my life forever. Then I thought I was wrong. Now he’s back. But this time I know what’s certain: Marcus will be gone again, and back again and again and again because nothing is permanent. Especially people. Strangers become friends. Friends become lovers. Lovers become strangers. Strangers become friends once more, and over and over. Tomorrow, next week, fifty years from now, I know I’ll get another one-word postcard from Marcus, because this one doesn’t have a period signifying the end of the sentence.
Or the end of anything at all. #Quote by Megan McCafferty

#174. «You’re the first girl I’ve met around here who’s real, and who cares about things and likes to do things. But half the time, you decide the conversation’s over in mid-sentence and take off. Or you ignore me when we’re at school and other people are around, and you tell your cousin that there’s nothing going on between us and that you’re not interested me at all.»
«Me? What about you?»
«What about me?»
«You’re the master of saying one word and disappearing. And you have all these things that you care about, like Bea and Oliver and surfing and acting, but most people would never know that. Your father thinks you can’t wait to be a banker and all your friends think you don’t care about anything. And meanwhile you’ve gone from a person who acted like he cared about me to a professional bodyguard doing a favor for my aunt. I mean, what is the whole Secret Service act about?»
His jaw was clenched. «I don’t want anything to you.»
«Nothing’s happened to me.»
«Oh, like when you got hit by a car?»
«It didn’t hit me.»
«But I should have been there. I got caught up, talking to Mr. Dudley, and I was late, and I let you stand out there all alone.»
«Quinn, that makes no sense.»
«I just don’t want it to happen again.»
«What don’t you want to happen?»
«I don’t want anyone I care about to get hurt on my watch.»
That shut us both up. We were silent for a while, each looking out our respective windows as we sped along the highway. #Quote by Jennifer Sturman

#175. I see us as all sitting around naked, shivering, in a huge circle, looking up as the sky turns black and the stars flare out and somebody starts to tell a story, claims to see a pattern in the stars. And then someone else tells a story about the eye of the hurricane, the eye of the tiger. And the stories , the images, become the truth and we will kill each other rather than change one word of the story. But every once in a while, someone sees a new star, or claims to see it, a star in the north that changes the pattern, and that is devastating. People are outraged, they start up grunting in fury, they turn on the one who noticed it and club her to death. They sit back down, muttering. They take up smoking. They turn away from the north, not wanting it to be thought that they might be trying to catch sight of her hallucination. Some of them, however, are true believers, they can look straight north and never see even a glimpse of what she pointed to. The foresighted gather together and whisper. They already know that if that star is accepted, all the stories will have to be changed. They turn suspiciously to sniff out any of the others who might surreptitiously turn their heads to peer at the spot where this star is supposed to be. They catch a few they think are doing this; despite their protests, they are killed. The things must be stopped at the root. But the elders have to keep watching, and their watching convinces the others that there’s really something there, so more a #Quote by Marilyn French

#176. Spread compassion all around you. Look around you — people are so unhappy, don’t add to their unhappiness. Your compassion will lessen their unhappiness; just one word of compassion will lessen their unhappiness. Don’t add to their unhappiness. #Quote by Rajneesh

#177. Somehow super power and hero are so synonymous that they get combined into one word, ‘superhero,’ whereas I’m kind of more interested in separating those two ideas out. You have characters with super powers who may or may not be heroic, because human beings aren’t all heroic. I tend to be drawn to antiheros. #Quote by Doug Liman

#178. The practice of politics in the East may be defined by one word: dissimulation. #Quote by Benjamin Disraeli

#179. Artists were always referred to as great artists. I thought that’s what the profession was. One word: great-artist. There wasn’t one moment in my life when I thought I wanted to be anything else. #Quote by Hedda Sterne

#180. You just gave her an angry glance in return. It was the kind of glance that children give their parents when they know exactly the kind of total power they have over them and when the temptation to shatter them with one word, one phrase is overwhelming, but something – just the vague knowledge perhaps that the mess they create would be too great to gather – holds them back. #Quote by Bilal Tanweer

#181. I love the pink that creeps up your cheeks when I say something dirty. The way your pussy throbs when I mention what I’m going to do to you later, and you wiggle in your seat trying to control it. So yeah, I guess I do like watching you flustered. You sit and give your attention to the waiter, trying to pretend you’re listening to whatever he’s saying instead of thinking of me feeding you my cock later, but we both know you didn’t hear one word he said. Hell I didn’t hear one word watching you, just knowing what you were thinking about. #Quote by Vi Keeland

#182. A co-op woman, old, tired, Jewish, fake drops of jade spread across the little sacks of her bosom, looked up at the pending wind and said one word: «Blustery.» Just one word, a word meaning no more than «a period of time characterized by strong winds,» but it caught me unaware, it reminded me of how language was once used, its precision and simplicity, its capacity for recall. Not cold, not chilly, blustery …
«It is blustery, ma’am,» I said to the old co-op woman. «I can feel it in my bones.» And she smiled at me with whatever facial muscles she still had in reserve. We were communicating with words. #Quote by Gary Shteyngart

#183. I’m going to kiss you now,’ I whispered. Rhode lifted his eyes to mine. ‘I was hoping you would say that,’ he whispered back, and we both cracked a smile. ‘Lenah,’ he said, and I could feel his body heat humming off him. ‘What will I do without you?’
I shivered as one word travelled through me.
‘Live. #Quote by Rebecca Maizel

#184. If someone says ‘Give me one word of advice,’ I say ‘be fearless.’ And knowing without any shadow of a doubt that what they have to give — who they are — is totally unique and not shared by anybody else. And to believe in that uniqueness. It took me decades before I developed courage as an actor. #Quote by Patrick Stewart

#185. A cousin of mine who was a casualty surgeon in Manhattan tells me that he and his colleagues had a one-word nickname for bikers: Donors. Rather chilling. #Quote by Stephen Fry

One mistake can kill many.
One gesture of love and kindness,
Can make a heart rejoice.

#187. Bloody hell,» Charlie gasped. «That’s twenty-five quid each, Isaac.»

«Language.»

«Shit.» Isaac blew out a breath. «A hundred quid, Mum.»

«Isaac, language.»

«Hey no,» Dex said, holding up a hand. «I mean a hundred each. I could use these as stencils. At this size I could pretty much charge double that, if not more, each time they’re used. Probably twice again if they have them in colour.»

The three of us looked at Dex in awe. He wanted to buy my talented boy’s drawings for a hundred pounds each.

«Well?» I prompted.

«Fuck yeah.»

«Language,» I said, barely above a whisper, still in a state of shock.

«It’s a deal.» Dex grinned. «Speaking of which, I said I’d show you my designs, but I gotta be honest, I’m not sure they’re as good as these.»

«Oh fuck,» I muttered.

«Language,» Charlie cried.

As Dex stripped off his shirt, I genuinely thought I heard a choir of angels sing and saw a shaft of light shine through the darkness outside and into my lounge.

There was only one word for what I was looking at – wondrous. He could honestly market himself as a tourist attraction and sell tickets. #Quote by Nikki Ashton

#188. SISTER. I CAN’T TELL YOU TO «BE HAPPY». BEING UNHAPPY IS HONESTLY QUITE EASY. BEING HAPPY, ON THE OTHER HAND IS FAR MORE DIFFICULT. THAT’S WHY. «LIVE.»
«LIVE.» THAT ONE WORD IS ALL I CAN SAY. EVEN IT FEELS LIKE PAIN TRIES TO REND YOUR HEART ASUNDER. EVEN IF SUFFERING THREATENS TO TWIST YOUR SMILE.
«LIVE.»
THAT IS MY PRAYER.
MY WISH.

#189. Let’s all do it,» said Mr. Watts. «Close your eyes and silently recite your name.»
The sound of my name took me to a place deep inside my head. I already knew that words could take you into a new world, but I didn’t know that on the strength of one word spoken for my ears only I would find myself in a room that no one else knew about.
«Another thing,» Mr. Watts said. «No one in the history of your short lives has used the same voice as you with which to say your name. This is yours. Your special gift that no one can ever take from you. #Quote by Lloyd Jones

#190. I am never forget the day I first meet the great Lobachevsky.
In one word he told me secret of success in mathematics:
Plagiarize!
Plagiarize!
Let no one else’s work evade your eyes!
Remember why the good Lord made your eyes!
So don’t shade your eyes,
But plagiarize, plagiarize, plagiarize —
Only be sure always to call it please ‘research’.
[Lobachevsky] #Quote by Tom Lehrer

#191. Introducing a spelling test to a student by saying, ‘Let’s see how many words you know,’ is different from saying, ‘Let’s see how many words you know already.’ It is only one word, but the already suggests that any words the child knows are ahead of expectation and, most important, that there is nothing permanent about what is known and not known. #Quote by Peter Johnston

#194. Alex:
OK, that sounds like a challenge! Well firstly, I would have brought you to a hotel along the coast so that your suite would have the best sea view in the hotel. You could fall asleep listening to the waves crashing against the rocks, I would sprinkle the bed with red rose petals and have candles lit all around the room, I would have your favorite CD playing quietly in the background.
But I wouldn’t propose to you there. I would bring you to where there was a huge crowd of people so they could all gasp when I got down on one knee and proposed. Or something like that. Note I have italicized all important buzz words.
Rosie:
Oh.
Alex:
Oh? That’s all you can say? One word for the most important night of our lives? #Quote by Cecelia Ahern

Maggie waved a gnarled finger in my direction. «Mention one word,» she said, voice sharp but grey eyes twinkling with merriment, «and I’ll curse your sex life for the next year.» I snorted. «Curse away. It can’t get any worse.» She shook her head. «How can a siren have such a pathetic love life?» «Because I’m a siren who can’t actually sing, remember? #Quote by Keri Arthur

#197. He broke away from my mouth and trailed his lips down the front of my throat. I felt his lips close around my scars. He kissed away their ugliness. His lips parted in tingling butterfly kisses that drained the strength from my knees. I realized he was mouthing words against my skin.
Not words. Just one word.
Mine. #Quote by Rose Christo

#198. You plant a garden one flower at a time … You write a book one word at a time, clean a closet one shelf at a time, run a marathon one step at a time. If you feel defeated by some large task, get your spade and dig the first hole. #Quote by Jeanne Marie Laskas

#199. The only difference between life and death is that the living still have time, but the time to say that one word, to make that one gesture, is running out for them. What gesture, what word, I don’t know, a man dies from not having said it, from not having made it, this is what he dies of, not from sickness, and that is why, when dead, he finds it so difficult to accept death. (Jose Saramago, The Year of the Death of Ricardo Reis, p 122) #Quote by Jose Saramago

#200. The difference between a calculated risk and rolling the dice can be expressed in one word: homework. #Quote by Georgette Mosbacher

#201. Unfortunately, ‘climate’ has become a dirty word — obviously in politics, but even to some degree in my world, in venture capital. People hesitate if they see something that’s purported to be green. That’s not a reason to invest for many people. #Quote by Evan Williams

#202. Wilderness is a resource which can shrink but not grow … creation of new wilderness in the full sense of the word is impossible. #Quote by Aldo Leopold

#203. It is hard to describe loss to someone who has never experienced it, impossible to explain all the ways it changes you. But for those who have, not a single word is needed. #Quote by Marie Lu

#204. I’ve been working as an actress since I was very young, and I know a lot of people who are actors who don’t have to deal with having a persona … You know, if you look up the word persona, it isn’t even real. The whole meaning of the word is that it’s made up, and it’s like I didn’t even get to make up my own. It can be annoying. #Quote by Kristen Stewart

#205. Punctuation is no more a class issue than the air we breathe. It is a system of printers’ marks that has aided the clarity of the written word for the past half-millennium, and if its time has come to be replaced, let’s just use this moment to celebrate what an elegant and imaginative job it did while it had the chance. #Quote by Lynne Truss

#207. Union at a decisive moment in 1933. They thoroughly grilled me for several hours; «What is your argument with National Socialism? Why don’t you keep your mouth shut? After all, you endanger the whole Baptist movement . . .» When I drew their attention to the prophetic word, pointing out that this rising power is but a «fading power,» and that the aim of this political movement is the spread of antichristian thinking — the men of the German Baptist movement laughed at me! #Quote by Paul Spanring

#208. I spent every night until four in the morning on my dissertation, until I came to the point when I could not write another word, not even the next letter. I went to bed. Eight o’clock the next morning I was up writing again. #Quote by Abraham Pais

#209. It’s been hours, son.» Footsteps echoed in the room. «Let me sit with her for a few minutes while you go — » «I’m staying. I have to. I love her, Uncle Curtis.» There were the words again. Only this time instead sounding like a promise, they sounded like torture. «I want to have a family. With Mollie.» He paused. «With you, too.» «Jacob.» It seemed to be all Uncle Curtis could say. Mollie couldn’t blame him. It was the only word she wanted to say, too. «Jacob.» He was at her side in a flash, taking her hand in his. «Mollie?» She focused all her energy on lifting her eyelids. They cracked just a bit, enough to let a sliver of lamplight in. Slowly, her lashes parted and she saw him. Red-rimmed eyes, stubbly jaw, hair a wreck. Her man. «I won’t leave you.» She gave him her promise before exhaustion once again overtook her and dragged her back into unconsciousness. #Quote by Karen Witemeyer

#210. Saint took a seat at the main faro table at the Society club. «What the devil is a ladies’ political tea?»
Tristan Carroway, Viscount Dare, finished placing his wager, then sat back, reaching for his glass of
port. «Do I look like a dictionary?»
«You’re domesticated.» Saint motioned for a glass of his own, despite unfriendly looks from the tables’
other players. «What is it?»
«I’m not domesticated; I’m in love. You should try it. Does wonders for your outlook on life.»
«I’ll take your word for it, thank you. #Quote by Suzanne Enoch

#211. Word and worship belong indissolubly to each other. All worship is an intelligent and loving response to the revelation of God, because it is the adoration of His name. Therefore, acceptable worship is impossible without preaching. For preaching is making known the name of the Lord, and worship is praising the name of the Lord made known. #Quote by John Stott

#212. Or I can stay with Colby when he comes back,» she added deliberately. She even smiled. «He’ll take care of me.»
His black eyes narrowed. «He can barely take care of himself,» he said flatly. «He’s a lost soul. He can’t escape the past or face the future without Maureen. He isn’t ready for a relationship with anyone else, even if he thinks he is»
She didn’t rise to the bait. «I can count on Colby. He’ll help me if I need it.»
He looked frustrated. «But you won’t let me help you.»
«Colby isn’t involved with anyone who’d be jealous of the time he spent looking out for me. That’s the difference.»
He let out an angry breath and his eyes began to glitter. «You have to beat the subject to death, I guess.»
She managed to look indifferent. «You have your own life to live, Tate. I’m not part of it anymore. You’ve made that quite clear.»
His teeth clenched. «Is it really that easy for you to throw the past away?» he asked.
«That’s what you want,» she reminded him. There was a perverse pleasure in watching his eyes narrow. «You said you’d never forget or forgive me,» she added evenly. «I took you at your word. I’ll always have fond memories of you and Leta. But I’m a grown woman. I have a career, a future. I’ve dragged you down financially for years, without knowing it. Now that I do…»
«For God’s sake!» he burst out, rising to pace with his hands clenched in his pockets. «I could have sent you to Harvard if you’d wanted to go there, and never #Quote by Diana Palmer

#213. The Resurrection is most clearly needed and most clearly revealed in those communities that are constantly seeking to correct and transform the world through the wisdom and power of the Word of God made flesh in their lives and actions in history. #Quote by Megan McKenna

#214. I will always be an addict even if you put the word ‘recovering’ in front of it. I will always have to work ten times as hard to be trusted, to be trustworthy but that’s the price I have to pay for my mistakes. #Quote by Emma Scott

#215. The word Being explains nothing, but nor does God. Being, however, has the advantage that it is an open concept. It does not reduce the infinite invisible to a finite entity. It is impossible to form a mental image of it. Nobody can claim exclusive possession of Being. It is your very essence, and it is immediately accessible to you as the feeling of your own presence, the realization I am that is prior to I am this or I am that. So it is only a small step from the word Being to the experience of Being. #Quote by Eckhart Tolle

#216. A major theme for Bonhoeffer was that every Christian must be «fully human» by bringing God into his whole life, not merely into some «spiritual» realm. To be an ethereal figure who merely talked about God, but somehow refused to get his hands dirty in the real world in which God had placed him, was bad theology. Through Christ, God had shown that he meant us to be in this world and to obey him with our actions in his word. So Bonhoeffer would get his hands dirty, not because he had grown impatient, but because God was speaking to him about further steps of obedience. #Quote by Eric Metaxas

#217. Not every word is fit for every ear. #Quote by Elif Shafak

#218. What is above all needed is to let the meaning choose the word, and not the other way around. In prose, the worst thing you can do with words is to surrender to them. #Quote by George Orwell

#219. I will never break your heart. I will never hurt you. I might fuck up, I might not be perfect, but I’ll never hurt you, Evan. You have my word. #Quote by Liz Reinhardt

#220. Behind every action, every thought, and every word lies the nagging question: what would Elodie think of me if she could see me now?
It’s a burden, this shift in attitude. It doesn’t come naturally; it requires constant work, and the new restrictions I’ve placed upon myself chafe like nothing else.
She didn’t ask me to change.
She hasn’t really asked anything of me, but this gnawing desire to make her happy, to make her proud of me, is ever constant. For her, I want to be better than my soiled, rotten soul has ever been before. #Quote by Callie Hart

#221. In our long and obsessive passion for youth, we have — more than any other modern society — avoided direct approach to age and to dying by denying them in word, in fact, and — above all — in worth. #Quote by Marya Mannes

#222. There were moments like this that Alix tried to breeze over, but they got stuck somewhere between her heart and ears. She knew Emira had gone to college. She knew Emira had majored in English. But sometimes, after seeing her paused songs with titles like «Dope Bitch» and «Y’all Already Know,» then hearing her use words like connoisseur, Alix was filled with feelings that went from confused and highly impressed to low and guilty in response to the first reaction. There was no reason for Emira to be unfamiliar with this word. And there was no reason for Alix to be impressed. #Quote by Kiley Reid

#223. Taylor realized that he had better use the «L» word or this was going to go south pretty far, pretty fast. #Quote by Kenneth Eade

#224. a word, as often happens, can be like a musical worm in the mind and invite repetition. But #Quote by Alexander McCall Smith

#225. There’s not a word that describes us. We’re not alternative, metal or grunge — we’re not any of that. We’re just what we are. #Quote by Jerry Cantrell

#226. A social epidemic, Mavens are data banks. They provide the message. Connectors are social glue: they spread it. But there is also a select group of people — Salesmen — with the skills to persuade us when we are unconvinced of what we are hearing, and they are as critical to the tipping of word-of-mouth epidemics as the other two groups.

#227. But Jesus is not customizable. He has not left himself open to interpretation, adaptation, innovation, or alteration. He has revealed himself clearly through his Word, and we have no right to personalize him. Instead, he revolutionizes us. #Quote by David Platt

#228. The highest political buzz word is not liberty, equality, fraternity or solidarity; it is service. #Quote by Arthur Hugh Clough

#229. I’m no linguist, but I have been told that in the Russian language, there isn’t even a word for freedom. #Quote by Ronald Reagan

#230. Author points out how easily non-agricultural people miss the picture of God as all-providing in Psalm 50:10, Word to a people for whom cattle meant plowing and fertilizer as well as meat. #Quote by Matt Chandler

#231. Diana accuses me of losing my sense of history. The hands that arrange her bones, that brush away the layers of earth that weighed heavy on her for fifty million years, those hands should be light and unattached, not heartsick, that embarrassing word, not longing for human touch, for the particular grooves of another person’s lifetline, but something else entirely, a pair of moving parts mindful of all that is ancient, and endures. I bristle at her rebuke, knowing she is right. #Quote by Tahmima Anam

#232. ‘Princess’ is a good word, as is ‘girlish’, ‘pixie-like’ and all these other things. I personally find it a bit boring, it’s all been done before. The amount of times you read reviews of bands and it’s an all-girl four-piece, and they talk about what the women are wearing … you’ll never read a review that’s like: «Male singer Thom Yorke, who was dressed in a white t-shirt and jeans … » You would never read that about a man. #Quote by Lauren Mayberry

#233. Like this book, the dictionary shows you that the word «nervous» means «worried about something»
you might feel nervous, for instance, if you were served prune ice cream for dessert, because you would be worried that it would taste awful
whereas the word «anxious» means «troubled by disturbing suspense,» which you might feel if you were served a live alligator for dessert, because you would be troubled by the disturbing suspense about whether you would eat your dessert or it would eat you. #Quote by Lemony Snicket

#234. Splendiferous. That’s your word. It’s yellow with six legs and it’s crawling up your arm. #Quote by Natalie Lloyd

#235. Power invariably elects to go into the hands of the strong. That strength may be physical or of the heart or, if we do not fight shy of the word, of the spirit. Strength of the heart connotes soul-force. Let it be remembered that physical force is transitory, even as the body is transitory. But the power of spirit is permanent even as the spirit is everlasting. #Quote by Mahatma Gandhi

#236. They appeared very corrupt and very depraved, no doubt, very vile, very odious even; but those who fall without becoming degraded are rare; besides, there is a point where the unfortunate and the infamous unite and are confounded in a single word, a fatal word, the miserable; whose fault is this? And then should not the charity be all the more profound, in proportion as the fall is great? #Quote by Victor Hugo

#237. I’m a mad lover of sport. You cannot say a bad word to me about sports. So I know business is involved and I know it can be cynical, and, of course, I watch it, but for me it’s pure. #Quote by Hugh Jackman

#238. Everything is up to you. You can rescue me or banish me with a single word. #Quote by Sylvain Reynard

#239. The word Gospel is from the Anglo-Saxon godspell, meaning «good news.» Ultimately the word comes from the Greek euangelion, also meaning «good news.» Gospel can mean the good news preached by Jesus, or the good news preached about Jesus. These two meanings are the ones found in the Bible. #Quote by Anonymous

#240. Father!
My father knows the proper way
The nation should be run;
He tells us children every day
Just what should now be done.
He knows the way to fix the trusts,
He has a simple plan;
But if the furnace needs repairs,
We have to hire a man.
My father, in a day or two
Could land big thieves in jail;
There’s nothing that he cannot do,
He knows no word like «fail.»
«Our confidence» he would restore,
Of that there is no doubt;
But if there is a chair to mend,
We have to send it out.

All public questions that arise,
He settles on the spot;
He waits not till the tumult dies,
But grabs it while it’s hot.
In matters of finance he can
Tell Congress what to do;
But, O, he finds it hard to meet
His bills as they fall due.

It almost makes him sick to read
The things law-makers say;
Why, father’s just the man they need,
He never goes astray.
All wars he’d very quickly end,
As fast as I can write it;
But when a neighbor starts a fuss,
‘Tis mother has to fight it.

In conversation father can
Do many wondrous things;
He’s built upon a wiser plan
Than presidents or kings.
He knows the ins and outs of each
And every deep transaction;
We look to him for theories,
But look to ma for action #Quote by Edgar A. Guest

#241. Sex is just a word. Love is a sentence #Quote by Matt Fraction

#242. The problem was acutely described in 1909 in a penetrating essay by Adolf Schlatter: According to the sceptical position, it is true that the historian explains; he observes the New Testament neutrally. But in reality this is to begin at once with a determined struggle against it. The word with which the New Testament confronts us intends to be believed, and so rules out once and for all any sort of neutral treatment. As soon as the historian sets aside or brackets the question of faith, he is making his concern with the New Testament and his presentation of it into a radical and total polemic against it…. If he claims to be an observer, concerned solely with his object, then he is concealing what is really happening. As a matter of fact, he is always in possession of certain convictions, and these determine him not simply in the sense that his judgments derive from them, but also in that his perception and observation is molded by them.352 #Quote by Ellen F. Davis
