“Any word you have to hunt for in a thesaurus is the wrong word. There are no exceptions to this rule.”

“I had recently come into the possession of a Thesaurus. You would not believe how many words there are! When I opened that book, I was like, whoa! Word party!”

“...if you are the exception that proves the rule, and the rule is that woman are inferior, you haven't made any progress.”

“if you are the exception that proves the rule, and the rule is that women are inferior, you haven't made any progress”

“Exceptional is too understated for you. I’ll have to search for a better word. (Carlos)”

“Words are not just wind. Words have something to say. But if what they have to say is not fixed, then do they really say something? Or do they say nothing? People suppose that words are different from the peeps of baby birds, but is there any difference, or isn't there? What does the Way rely upon, that we have true and false? What do words rely upon, that we have right and wrong? How can the Way go away and not exist? How can words exist and not be acceptable? When the Way relies on little accomplishments and words reply on vain show, then we have rights and wrongs of the Confucians and the Mo-ists. What one calls right the other calls wrong; what one calls wrong the other calls right. But if we want to right their wrongs and wrong their rights, then the best to use is clarity.”
