"Words are magic, he thought. They make you do things. They screw you over; they lead you by the nose; they drag you over cliffs; they drive you across deserts and seas; they inflate you with emotion; they drain you of will; they catapult you across the universe—magic, magic, magic. Words are art. Words are physics. Words are science. A single word can contain all of time and space. Yet, time and space contain no words of their own." ~ Kill the Media


“You expect me to fear them because they control the language—words? They change the goddammed language and the meaning of words every day, Desdemona. They even outlaw and ban words. Soon there will be no words left to use—only their words. That is, only the words they permit us to use.

“They don’t scare me, Desdemona. I serve justice and all the people; not money; not votes; not political parties; and, not some so-called ‘community’ that’s under the thumb of all the above.
 
“And I don’t serve or wait for their re-invented words, words, words, either—their goddammed marching orders. I think for myself, Desdemona. I don’t obey the special phrases they exploit to control people’s thoughts, emotions, and actions."
