Oscar Wilde: "Kata-kata! Kata-kata hanya! Betapa mengerikannya mereka!...
"Kata-kata! Kata-kata hanya! Betapa mengerikannya mereka! Betapa jelas, dan jelas, dan kejam! Seseorang tidak dapat melarikan diri dari mereka. Namun betapa ajaibnya ada di dalamnya! Mereka tampaknya mampu memberikan bentuk plastik untuk benda-benda tak berbentuk, dan memiliki musik mereka sendiri yang semanis violet atau lute. Kata-kata hanya! Apakah ada sesuatu yang nyata seperti kata-kata?"

Versi Bahasa Inggris
Words! Mere words! How terrible they were! How clear, and vivid, and cruel! One could not escape from them. And yet what a subtle magic there was in them! They seemed to be able to give a plastic form to formless things, and to have a music of their own as sweet as that of viol or of lute. Mere words! Was there anything so real as words?
