“Writers don't own their words. Since when do words belong to anybody? 'Your very own words,' indeed! And who are you?”

“It's a bad word, 'belong.' Especially when you put it with somebody you love… You can't own a human being.”

“You don't have to be 'adults'… but be someone who can take responsibility for their own words and actions. Believe it or not, that's actually harder.”

“You can put anything into words, except your own life”

“Never repeat the words of your enemy. When you do, their words are heard twice and yours only once.”

“You need to follow your own heart in light of God’s word and do what you feel is right and good for you.”

“Don't use a five-dollar word when a fifty-cent word will do.”

“But, indeed, words are very rascals, since bonds [vows] disgraced them."
Viola: "Thy reason, man?"
Feste: "Troth [Truthfully], sir, I can yield you none without words, and words are grown so false, I am loathe to prove reason with them.”

“"The words still don't move."
"The words don't need to move. It is you who is moved by them."”

“"Don't be afraid," I muttered. "We belong together."
I was abruptly overwhelmed by the truth of my own words. This moment was so perfect, so right, there was no way to doubt it.”
