“Angry words pierce & the holes can't be patched.”

“...the words I can't say are the holes I punch in the walls of my psyche...”

“Scientists often invent words to fill the holes in their understanding. These words are meant as conveniences untilreal understanding can be found. Sometimes understanding comes and the temporary words can be replaced with wordsthat have more meaning. More often, however, the patch words will take on a life of their own and no one will remember that they were only intended to be placeholders.”

“(She) could have read for hours, except that recently she had discovered holes and crevices between the words which she immediately had to fill with her own ideas until she was fed up with patching up the makeshift constructs.”

“A violent act pierces the atmosphere, leaving a hole through which the cold, damp draft of its memory blows forever.”

“Never be angry with something that can't get angry with you.”
