Quote

I don't use a lot of words unnecessarily.

It took me years to understand that words are often as important as experience, because words make experience last.

I've spent a lot of words on my own mortality.

That is a long word: forever!

Words that are saturated with lies or atrocity, do not easily resume life.

I've learned never to try and force words to come.

Words will not fail when the matter is well considered.

I find it difficult to believe that words have no meaning in themselves, hard as I try. Habits of a lifetime are not lightly thrown aside.
