I've always told people that for each person there is a sentence--a series of words--which has the power to destroy him. When Fat told me about Leon Stone I realized (this came years after the first realization) that another sentence exists, another series of words, which will heal the person. If you're lucky you will get the second; but you can be certain of getting the first: that is the way it works.

Words have magic. Spells and curses. Some of them, the best of them, once said change everything.
The way he said her name made my heart cramp. In all my years of word collecting, I've learned this to be a tried and true fact: I can very often tell how much a person loves another person by the way they say their name. I think that's one of the best feelings in the world, when you know your name is safe in another person's mouth. When you know they'll never shout it out like a cuss word, but say it or whisper it like a once-upon-a-time.
When you realize the awesome power of words, you can change lives.
The Temperature is RisingThe heartbeat quickens my breath is controlled,my senses are illuminated like a mother to her young.

Books are readable drugs.
When I try to achieve greatness, it spits on me the night before.
I choose to choose few words each day. Yes! few words that count. Few words that can make impact. Few words that talk much. Few words that can make people ponder to wonder. Few words that are indelible. Few words that can leave distinctive footprints on minds. Though we may fail to mind our words, we shall never fail to mind the works of our words.
You don't need to kill with a sword, the tongue can do equally a better job and police will not knock on your door
