-Samuel Beckett
Words are always getting conventionalized to some secondary meaning. It

them back then ignore the mess they left when they fell.

use.

anything. You read and you're pierced.

reality always wins.

little foolish.

the unthinking.

very much.

Words should be an intense pleasure to a writer just as leather should
be to a shoemaker.

often allowed otherwise well-guarded truths to seep through.

Burnett
Words- so innocent and powerless as they are, as standing in a
dictionary, how potent for good and evil they become in the hands of one
who knows how to combine them.
-Nathaniel Hawthorne
