Hank Cochran was a man of very few words, but certainly the words that he chose were the right ones to use. -- Jamey Johnson
I always prided myself on at least trying to be literate and use the right words, and if the audience didn't get it, then they could go home and look it up. -- Tom Lehrer

In America right now, we use words like 'smart' to talk about bombs. American rhetoric is grounded in ideas of capital-G Good, capital-E Evil, and it's very clear who is on which side. But in a book you can do just the opposite. You can use all lower-case words. -- Jonathan Safran Foer

Without computers, in the 17th century, we could classify the entire animal kingdom... there was this idea of the speciation, right? And now, all a search engine is is essentially the mathematical speciation of ideas - and these things really derive from the way that language is used and the way words relate. -- Joshua Cohen
