Quote

Words are how people think. When you misuse words, you diminish your ability to think clearly and truthfully.

When you use words loosely, without care and consideration, you erode trust in yourself and in what you're saying. When you squander words, you diminish your power.

Words are a pretty blunt instrument. There's always going to be slippage between the words and the infinite complexities of a thought. As a writer, I find that frustrating, but as a social animal, I wouldn't have it any other way.

I think that words are often extraneous to what I do.

Words are illusions.

There are words bandied about that are being misused - words like 'socialism,' words like 'communism,' words like 'fascism.'

Sometimes people complicate things by thinking too much about what someone might think of what they said or did.
