I think if you would like to describe composing as an act with one word, "slow" would be the word.

Reality is contradictory. And it's paradoxical. If there's any one word -- if you had to pick one word to describe the nature of the universe -- I think that word would be paradox. That's true at the subatomic level, right through sociological, psychological, philosophical levels on up to cosmic levels.

Tom Robbins

There's a word like overprotective to describe some parents, but no word that means the opposite. What word do you use to describe parents who don't protect enough? Underprotective? Neglectful? Self-involved? Lame? All of the above.

R. J. Palacio

Were I forced to describe this woman in one word, that word would be...herpes.

Jen Lancaster

If I had to describe my work in one word, that word would be time.

Andy Goldsworthy

Whatever else the true preaching of the word would need to include, it at least would have to be a word that speaks from the perspective of those who have been crushed and marginalized in our society. It would need to be a word of solidarity, healing and love in situations of brokenness and despair and a disturbing and troubling word of justice to those who wish to protect their privilege by exclusion.

Letty M. Russell

If I had to use a single word to describe what is fundamentally wrong with government today, I would use the word fraud.

Robert Higgs

What was life like in the colonies? Probably the best word to describe it would be "colonial".

Dave Barry

If someone was like, 'Describe yourself in one word,' I would never say, 'Handsome.'

Ian Harding

Read the Word. Consume the Word until it consumes you. Believe the Word. Act on the Word.

Smith Wigglesworth

If I had to describe my diet in one word, it would be 'colorful.' I always think about adding color to the plate.

Katie Lee

I don't think patient would be the first word that anybody that knows me would describe me as. But I think that's anybody in competitive sports.

Brad Stevens

The word 'funny' is a bit like the word 'love' - we don't have enough words to describe the many varieties.

George Saunders

Signs are taken for wonders. / 'We would see a sign!' / The word within a word, unable to speak a word, / Swaddled with darkness.

T. S. Eliot

Everybody gets a tag. If you listen to a Velvet Underground record, you don't think, 'Godfathers of Punk.' You just think, 'This sounds great.' The tags are there in order to help try to sell something by giving it a name that's going to stick in somebody's memory. But it doesn't describe it. So 'depressing' isn't a word I would use to describe my music. But there is some sadness in it -- there has to be, so that the happiness in it will matter.

Elliott Smith

If one person sits down at their computer one day and types one word, dose that affect the future? If that one person didn't type that one word, would the future's history be changed? Dose their one word even mean anything? Dose my one (times a lot) word mean anything? Dose that one person's one word even get read-once? If I wasn't sitting here writing my words, would my future be different?

Esther Earl

I saw Vicente Fox use the word that he used. I can only tell you, if I would have used even half of that word, it would have been national scandal. This guy used a filthy, disgusting word on television, and he should be ashamed of himself, and he should apologize, OK?

Donald Trump
