Power Of Words Quotes

“Yes, contrast teaches us a great many things and there is purpose for it. Yet it is time to transcend your everyday dramas that are but drops in an ocean. Cease focusing on your droplets of water and look around you. Everything you say and touch and do sets into motion ripples that either heal and create or curse and destroy. Let me repeat: Everything.”

“I Am ! Two powerful words.... You must confess... I Am who God called me to be. I Am a Success. I Am not what you think of me. I Am more than a conqueror. I Am walking by Faith. I Am a Gift.”

“A man with a scant vocabulary will almost certainly be a weak thinker. The richer and more copious one's vocabulary and the greater one's awareness of fine distinctions and subtle nuances of meaning, the more fertile and precise is likely to be one's thinking. Knowledge of things and knowledge of the words for them grow together. If you do not know the words, you can hardly know the thing.”

“and I kept writing of love during the war I wrote you poems so the world seemed less obscene so I’d suspend time and cease the disappearing during the war I wrote you poems so you felt held in your unravelling so the blasts wouldn’t reach who we were becoming during the war I wrote you poems so they wouldn’t win so the fragrance of my people lingered in the streets like a thousand burst tangerines”

“Depending on what you feed it, your mind can work for or against you. You will continue to search in all the wrong places, somewhere outside of you, until you realize that everything you see outside has to do with what is already housed inside you.”

“Let history handle empires. Learn a thousand words and handle the conversation.”

“If readers and writers are conscious of language, they will cease to be susceptible to corrupt political argument. Totalitarianism will lose its strength in the face of crisp, clear prose. It is a heavy burden to place on the shoulders of the English language. That Orwell was willing to assign language such power underscored his belief in the centrality of speech to politics, and the importance not only of securing free speech, but of ensuring that words that are spoken freely are also spoken honestly.”

“Finally, bookshelves can be a terrifying place for debut writers, especially those who are marginalized. Writers who are queer, trans, BIPOC, disabled, working class or otherwise marginalized fight tooth and nail for their stories to be told in a world that often seems increasingly unwelcome to them. By buying, reading and sharing these books, you are sending the message that these people and their stories matter. That they deserve to be heard. Never underestimate the power you hold, readers.”

“Comfort itself is often invoked as though it were a right of the powerful. I June 2018, CBS This Morning tweeted 'Border Patrol has reached out and said they are "very uncomfortable" with the use of the word cages. They say it's not accurate and added that they may be cages but people are not being treated like animals.' So a cage should not be called a cage, because the discomfort of people in cages is overshadowed by the discomfort of people who put them in cages having cages be called by their true names.”

“पैसे और गुरूर की ताक़त ज़ुल्म की दास्तान लिखती है, और क़लम की ताकत उस दास्तान का इतिहास, जो तुम्हारे बच्चे पढ़ सकें।”
