Words to live by, I have none. Want to get to know me, get with the show, son. 

Pablo Neruda said it best when he wrote La Palabra, saying:
"I take the word and move
through it, as if it were
only a human form,
its lines delight me and I sail
in each resonance of language:
I utter and I am
and across the boundary of words,
without speaking, I approach silence."
