“We cannot be too careful about the words we use; we start out using them and they end up using us.”

“We are coming up on the Sumerian apokalypsi–. (Artemis)I don’t think they use that word. (Kat)Who cares what word they use? End of the world is end of the world regardless of whatever term you use for it! (Artemis)”

“God uses silence to teach us to use words responsibly. He uses tiredness so that we can understand the value of waking up. He uses illness to underline the blessing of good health.God uses fire to teach us about water. He uses earth to explain the value of air. He uses death to show us the importance of life.”

“We made bad use of immortality, and so ended up dying; Christ made good use of mortality, so that we might end up living.”

“We should all stop wasting time using things we need, and start using most of our time saving them!”

“I love you." For a start, we'd better put these words on a high shelf; in a square box behind glass which we have to break with our elbow; in a bank. We shouldn't leave them lying around the house like a tube of vitamin C. If the words come too easily to hand, we'll use them without thought; we won't be able to resist. Oh, we say we won't, but we will. We'll get drunk, or lonely, or - likeliest of all - plain damn hopeful, and there are the words gone, used up, grubbied. We think we might be in love and we're trying out the words to see if they're appropriate? How can we know what we think till we hear what we say? Come off it; that won't wash. These are grand words; we must make sure we deserve them. Listen to them again: "I love you.”
