George Carlin:

I'm a collector of words. I'm a word nerd. I love words. I love how they sound, how they look, how they feel, how they taste. I love how they make me think, how they make me feel, how they make me laugh, how they make me cry. I love how they make me understand, how they make me wonder, how they make me question. I love words.
