  James Earl Jones

en The producer had to stop recording and wait for me to compose myself, ... There are quite a few places in my memoir that I don't read again and don't read out loud at appearances. It's interesting. You can write it down and even work with it in writing, but speaking your words out into the world has a different kind of power.

  Oscar Wilde

The word abandons its meaning like an overload which is too heavy and prevents dreaming. Then words take on other meanings as if they had the right to be young. And the words wander away, looking in the nooks and crannies of vocabulary for new company, bad company.
  Gaston Bachelard
