“It is impossible for the Court to foresee when a sentence begins how it will end, and, sometimes, mischief is done before we are sure that the sentence will conclude in an offensive manner.”

“It was virtually impossible to think of a sentence that made a positive use of that dreadful word ‘enough’, let alone one that started raving about ‘nothing’.”

“As soon as we start putting our thoughts into words and sentences everything gets distorted, language is just no damn good—I use it because I have to, but I don’t put any trust in it. We never understand each other.”

“The first words of the inhabitats of Partgrad were offensive words.”

“Words create sentences; sentences create paragraphs; sometimes paragraphs quicken and begin to breathe.”

“The words you never cared to say, “I want to start a family””

“The words of the world want to make sentences.”

“Bobby Knight told me this: "There is nothing that a good defense—cannot beat a better offense." In other words a good offense wins.”

“I start in the middle of a sentence and move both directions at once.”
