Words

You probably know by now that I love words. That's why they call me the Philolog, and my other blog is called philologsblog.blogspot.com.

Some quotations about words:

Mike Dooley, aka the Universe, says that "Words Create Worlds."

You know how fond I am of words.

Words are like diamonds, sometimes they sparkle, sometimes they cut.

"Words, they can do anything...
they can call in a dog at night, they can bring comfort to old friend,
say happy birthday to a girl whose balloons are slowly sinking.
But sometimes they can get you into trouble ...like the human rights activist in Zimbabwe who was kidnapped for standing up to gov corruption...or the journalist in China sentenced to 10 years in prison for sending a email, or the thousands of men and women in Iran who are arested, beaten and tortured for demanding fair election.

Now we need your words to demand justice, to take a stand, to offer hope to people around the world who are silenced for simply speaking their minds.
Write a letter or speak out today.
Your words can lead to their freedom.

Words, they can do anything."

That is the text of an interesting video I saw online a few days ago. I can't take credit for them.
