More From Richard Pryor

So mo began filling the silence with words. he lured them out of the pages as if they had only been waiting for his voice, words long and short, words sharp and soft, cooing, purring words. they danced through the room, painting stained glass pictures, tickling the skin. even when meggie nodded off she could still hear them, although mo had closed the book long ago. words that explained the world to her, its dark side and its light side, words that built a wall to keep out bad dreams. and not a single bad dream came over that wall for the rest of the night.
Dream Wall Book
When our embassy is attacked in benghazi by terrorists and there is no response, you get more bad behavior. when russia invades ukraine and there is no response, you get more bad behavior. when syria crosses the red line and there is no response, you get more bad behavior. when iran launches tests of ballistic missiles and there is no response, you get more bad behavior. when north korea attacks sony pictures and there is no response, you get more bad behavior. in other words, mrs. clinton, you cannot lead from behind. we must respond when we are attacked or provoked.

The words 'alone,' 'lonely,' and 'loneliness' are three of the most powerful words in the english language. those words say that we are human; they are like the words hunger and thirst. but they are not words about the body, they are words about the soul.
Lonely Powerful Loneliness
Sometimes we don't need words. rather, it's words that need us. if we were no longer here, words would lose their whole function. they would end up as words that are never spoken, and words that aren't spoken are no longer words. - (where i'm likely to find it)
Needs Sometimes Function
One of the major symptoms of the general crisis existent in our world today is our lack of sensitivity to words. we use words as tools. we forget that words are a repository of the spirit. the tragedy of our times is that the vessels of the spirit are broken. we cannot approach the spirit unless we repair the vessels. reverence for words - an awareness of the wonder of words, of the mystery of words - is an essential prerequisite for prayer. by the word of god the world was created.
Prayer Our World Broken
Words are pale shadows of forgotten names. as names have power, words have power. words can light fires in the minds of men. words can wring tears from the hardest hearts. there are seven words that will make a person love you. there are ten words that will break a strong man's will. but a word is nothing but a painting of a fire. a name is the fire itself.
