Famous quotes containing the word words:
“Language is filled
with words for deprivation

it is hard to crack language open
into that other country
the country of being.”

“Today the discredit of words is very great. Most of the time the media transmit lies. In the face of an intolerable world, words appear to change very little. State power has become congenitally deaf, which is why—but the editorialists forget it—terrorists are reduced to bombs and hijacking.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
