Give the people a new word and they think they have a new fact.
Cather, Willa

Philip K. Dick
When politicians and politically minded people pay too much attention to literature, it is a bad sign -- a bad sign mostly for literature. But it is also a bad sign when they don't want to hear the word mentioned.
Calvino, Italo
Taking a new step, uttering a new word, is what people fear most.

Smith, Robert
I wouldn't want to think people doted on us, hung on every word, or wanted to look like us. (Trouser Press 1980)
Smith, Robert
As a poet and writer, I deeply love and I deeply hate words. I love the infinite evidence and change and requirements and possibilities of language; every human use of words that is joyful, or honest or new, because experience is new... But as a Black poet and writer, I hate words that cancel my name and my history and the freedom of my future: I hate the words that condemn and refuse the language of my people in America.
Jordan, June

Craik, Dinah Maria Mulock

Vidal, Gore
