quote for wordsearch present?

Wink

Hey guys,

I was thinking of making a wordsearch for my boyfriend for his bday (which is helpfully right before Christmas!). I'd like to use a short quote instead of single words but I'm stuck on what to use. I'd like to make it quite difficult but not impossible and I'd prefer it to be classic rather than lovey dovey...

At the moment, the frontrunner is “I fear those big words, Stephen said, which make us so unhappy", from Ulysses.

Any more ideas would be very gratefully received.

p.s. sorry if this is an inappropriate forum. I thought you guys might be the best people to ask

Here are a few to get the ball rolling.

Rudyard Kipling wrote:

“Words are, of course, the most powerful drug used by mankind.”

Aldous Huxley, Brave New World wrote:

“Words can be like X-rays if you use them properly -- they’ll go through anything. You read and you’re pierced.”

“Words are a pretext. It is the inner bond that draws one person to another, not words.”

Ernest Hemingway wrote:

“All my life I've looked at words as though I were seeing them for the first time.”

Jodi Picoult, Change of Heart wrote:

“words are like nets - we hope they'll cover what we mean, but we know they can't possibly hold that much joy, or grief, or wonder.”

Alan Wilson Watts wrote:

“The menu is not the meal.”

Henry Ward Beecher wrote:

“All words are pegs to hang ideas on.”

Wow, Nody, thank you so much. That's fantastic. I especially love the Hemmingway quote, it's right up his street!
Thanks so much
