So what's in a WORD?
Writing about words themselves is not the easiest...quite a head-spin really. I guess it's because as you write them down you're using the very thing you're trying to dismantle? It's like trying to compose a song about song-composition...gets you going round in some pretty confusing circles. If I went into all my thoughts about words and their underlying meanings, how what's written on the paper is ultimately not the most important element of writing, how words are able to be vision, sound and thought all at once...I'd end with some sort of miniature brain self-combustion. I'm too young for that sort of thing. Plus I have more pressing things to do like walk the dog and wash my hair...“Words are only postage stamps delivering the object for you to unwrap” - George Bernard Shaw
"I'll say the words out loud.
I'll say a thousand words or more
Manipulation. Fabrication.
Conversation. Annihilation
I'll say a thousand words or more
Damnation. Frustration.
Elevation. Procreation Manipulation. Fabrication.
Conversation. Annihilation
I'll say a thousand words or more
Damnation. Frustration.
I'll say a thousand words or more" - Savage Garden
“Writing is a socially acceptable form of schizophrenia.” - E.L. Doctorow
“Words have no power to impress the mind without the exquisite horror of their reality.”
- Edgar Allen Poe
Once broken they are impossible things to repair." - Anne Sexton
"Word may refer to a spoken word or a written word, or sometimes, the abstract concept behind either."

"It's only words, and words are all I have, to take your heart away"

And I'll leave you with one more, which is will fit more into my next post, but also here...
"What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet."
By any other name would smell as sweet."
- Romeo and Juliet (II, ii, 1-2)
