“I am a writer....a master of words.'Like a knife, words should be handled carefully. They can cut deeply, the wound may never heal, and the scar can remain for an eternity.”
“Words can wound, and wounds can heal.”
“Words wound deeper than any knife, my lord. Often they fester and never heal.”
“You really need stitches," she tells me."Or you're going to have a scar." I try not to laugh. Stitches aren't going to help. They fix skin, cuts, wounds, heal stuff on the outside. Everything broken with me is on the inside. "I can handle scars, especially one's on the outside.”
“Even though the wounds will heal the scars will remain.”
“Words can be sharp as knives, but cut more deeply.”
