I hate the word proverb

 I hate the word housewife; I don't like the word home-maker either. I want to be called Domestic Goddess.
  Roseanne Arnold

 I was raised with the idea that the word hate is extremely strong. So it might be OK to hate Adolf Hitler. It's OK to hate Satan. These are acceptable figures to whom the word hate can apply. I would proudly wear the badge of hater of many of Bush's policies. But the man? I don't like him, but hate him?

 He had a word, too. Love, he called it. But I had been used to words for a long time. I knew that that word was like the others: just a shape to fill a lack; that when the right time came, you wouldn't need a word for that anymore than for pride or fear.
  William Faulkner

 This is a look at a particular world of artists, and when it comes to words, well, that's our currency. In terms of mindset, we'll entertain almost any idea. We're trying to be creative. There's nothing about any given word that's better or worse than other given word. A word is a word.

 Hate is not a word we use in our home. I don't hate them. I just want justice done.

 I really hate to use the word young. Inexperienced is probably a better word.

 Man is the supreme Talisman. Lack of a proper education hath, however, deprived him of that which he doth inherently possess. Through a word proceeding out of the mouth of God he was called into being; by one word more he was guided to recognize the Source of his education; by yet another word his station and destiny were safeguarded. The Great Being saith: Regard man as a mine rich in gems of inestimable value. Education can, alone, cause it to reveal its treasures, and enable mankind to benefit therefrom.

 I prefer the word "homemaker" because "housewife" always implies that there may be a wife someplace else
  Bella Abzug

 Word of mouth is really getting out about the Rendezvous. More people are coming and they're going home and telling everyone about it — word is getting out — it's just a dang good show.

 While the spoken word can travel faster, you can't take it home in your hand. Only the written word can be absorbed wholly at the convenience of the reader.
  Kingman Brewster

 Do I hate you? No! Not hate?
Hate's a word far too intense,
Too alive, to speak a state
Of supreme indifference.

 DIE, n. The singular of "dice." We seldom hear the word, because there is a prohibitory proverb, "Never say die." At long intervals, however, some one says: "The die is cast," which is not true, for it is cut. The word is found in an immortal couplet by that eminent poet and domestic economist, Senator Depew:

A cube of cheese no larger than a die May bait the trap to catch a nibbling mie.
  Ambrose Bierce

 If I do leave a legacy here, I hope it's just toughness. That single word right there. A lot of people take that word for granted and use it loosely, but it's a word I take very seriously. I take a lot of pride in it.

 Frankly I love the word 'nigga.' It is my favorite word in the English language because no other word incites more controversy today.

 Most surely, it is the Word brought by an honored Apostle, / And it is not the word of a poet; little is it that you believe; / Nor the word of a soothsayer; little is it that you mind.
