Quotes
'Words can be twisted into any shape. Promises can be made to lull the heart and seduce the soul. In the final analysis, words mean nothing. They are labels we give things in an effort to wrap our puny little brains around their underlying natures, when ninety-nine percent of the time the totality of the reality is an entirely different beast. The wisest man is the silent one. Examine his actions. Judge him by them.' - Karen Marie Moning
'The power of words is not in the words themselves, but how they make people feel.' - Adam Grant
'Words do not express thoughts very well. They always become a little different immediately after they are expressed, a little distorted, a little foolish.' - Hermann Hesse
