Douglas Adams (1952 - 2001)
O words of love, O words divine!

As these three words: 'I've got mine!'

Lewis Carroll (1832 - 1898)
Before emphasizing what I believe, perhaps I should point out what I do not believe, or what I no longer believe: I no longer believe in the magic of the spoken word. It signifies not order but disorder. It does not eliminate chaos, it only conceals it. It no longer carries men's hopes but distorts them. It has ceased to be a vehicle, only to become an obstacle. It does not signify sharing but compromise.
