Ord

I begyndelsen var Ordet, og Ordet var hos Gud, og Ordet var Gud.

Johannesevangeliet

 

Bedre end en tale på tusind ord er ét eftertænksomt ord, der bringer fred i sindet.

If every word I said

Could make you laugh
I’d talk forever.
John Stamos, “Forever”

 

Smile an everlasting smile

A smile can bring you near to me.
Don’t ever let me find you gone
‘cause that could bring a tear to me.

This world has lost it’s glory,

Let’s start a brand new story, now my love.
Right now there’ll be no other time
And I can show you all, my love

Talk in everlasting words

And dedicate them all to me.
And I will give you all my life
I’m here if you should call to me.

You think that I don’t even mean

A single word I say.
It’s only words and words are all I have
To take your heart away.

Bee Gees, “Words”

 

Palmer Joss: What are you studying up there?

Ellie Alloway: Oh, the usual. Nebulae, quasars, pulsars, stuff like that. What are you writing?
Palmer Joss: The usual. Nouns, adverbs, adjective here and there.
“Contact”, 1997

Am I a hunter if I send poems to please you

Am I a cad if I mean everything I say

Should I even let you know this song’s about you girl
Just because I want to see you smile today
And my words may bind you to me much too tightly
And you may choke upon them if we fall apart
It’s not fair to write a song to a woman, no
Because a woman takes a song into her heart
Daniel Beddingfield, “Wrap my words around you”

Jeg er en bjørn med en meget lille hjerne - og lange ord generer mig.

Peter Plys

 

Det er uforsvarligt at sætte ord i verden.

Benny Andersen

Words are the source of misunderstandings ,

Antoine de Saint-Exupery, Le Petit Prince  

People who talk in metaphors should have to shampoo my crotch!

Marvin Udall, As Good As It Gets, 1997

 

Den sikreste måde at gøre en mand til en tåbe er at citere ham.

Robert Benchley
