I enjoy the opportunity to use swear symbols. The reader reads into them something worse than what you normally would have. They work as this outburst of incoherent anger. I've found ways to write around swearing that are much more effective, rather than going for what someone really would say.
Daniel Clowes
Image
He held up a finger and went to the hallway, where he tripped over Blotchy, and then over the two monster cats madly pursuing Blotchy. Swearing, he leaned over the landing and called to the guard that unless the kingdom fell to war or his daughter was dying, he better not be interrupted until further notice.
Kristin Cashore

I tweet, therefore my entire life has shrunk to 140 character chunks of instant event and predigested gnomic wisdom. And swearing.
Neil Gaiman
Image
If I have one wish which is greater than another, it is, if I had the power, to make men do right to make them stop their swearing, their lying, their deceiving, to stop trying to injure the innocent, and begin to be honest and upright in all their dealings with one another and honor the name of the Deity.
Brigham Young

What matters the party to me? I shall find enough anyhow who unite with me without swearing allegiance to my flag.
Max Stirner
Image
Writers used to make such wonderful pictures without all that swearing, all that cursing. And now it seems that you can't say three words without cursing. And I don't think that's right.
Ernest Borgnine
Image
I don't really put a lot of swearing in my music. I want everybody to be able to enjoy it.
Drake
Image
I've been accused of vulgarity. I say that's bullshit.
Mel Brooks
Image
Men put all kinds of expectations on you. They want you to scream 'You're the best' while swearing you've never done this with anyone before.
Elayne Boosler
Image
There ought to be a room in every house to swear in. It's dangerous to have to repress an emotion like that.
Mark Twain
Image
If I were to try to read, much less answer, all the attacks made on me, this shop might as well be closed for any other business.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I kept this to remind me of you trying to brush away the Villa Rossa from your teeth in the morning, swearing and eating aspirin and cursing harlots. Every time I see that glass I think of you trying to clean your conscience with a toothbrush.
Ernest Hemingway
Image
I don't like swearing on the air. As a matter of fact, I'm not a prude, but I go to the movies and then wonder - I asked myself the same question, and I watch HBO and some of the comedy stuff, and I'm constantly asking myself, why have we gone there? It seems like it's unfortunate. It's so cheap.
Brian Lamb
Image
Rather than trying to put an end to Eminem or some other rapper, politicians should think about why they're rapping. It's easier to try to censor some kid who's swearing about poverty than it is to stop the poverty.
Willie Nelson
Image
A footman may swear but he cannot swear like a lord. He can swear as often: but can he swear with equal delicacy, propriety, and judgment?
Jonathan Swift
Image
On the air, it's as if somebody draws a heavy drape to block any bias. I don't even feel it inside. It's the same curtain that keeps you from swearing. I've known broadcasters who can't get one sentence out in normal conversation without being profane, and yet, they can go on the air and talk for three hours and never slip once.
Dick Enberg
Image
Oaths and curses are a proof of a most heroic courage, at least in appearance, which answers the same end.
Mary Collyer
Image
If men are wont to play with swearing anywhere, can we expect they should be serious and strict therein at the bar or in the church.
Isaac Barrow
Image
Some of us cling to our curses if we haven't anything better to cling to!
Phyllis Bottome
Image
No parent can consistently teach faith in Christ who profanes the name of Deity. Profanity is never heard in the well-ordered home. Swearing is a vice that bespeaks a low standard of breeding. Blasphemous exclamations drive out all spirit of reverence.
David O. McKay
Image
I think I may have been the only person to be rewarded charitably and get a tax deduction for swearing on film!
Hugh Jackman
Image
I think the reason that swearing is both so offensive and so attractive is that it is a way to push people's emotional buttons, and especially their negative emotional buttons. Because words soak up emotional connotations and are processed involuntarily by the listener, you can't will yourself not to treat the word in terms of what it means.
Steven Pinker
Image
The agony of love destroyed often leaves us swearing never to love again.
Ruben Papian

I'll have you know I do the swearing on this ship. If I need your assitance I'll call you. Capt. Wolf Larsen
