“What do you say when the feelings don't fit into words?”

“They're just words. And words alone don't really mean anything. It's what you feel and what you believe when you say them that matter.”

“What are words if you really don't mean them when you say them?”

“When you say words a lot they don't mean anything. Or maybe they don't mean anything anyway, and we just think they do.”

“Don't say it is too hard or you can't find the words and please don't tell me there isn't enough time in the day. Writers start each day with a pen in their hand and do not make excuses. To be a writer is to do what is too hard, to find the words when others could not and make time no matter what. The proof is in the book you hold, the words you read and the stories that live on forever.”

“there are many kinds of sincerity and insincerity. When you say 'thank you' for the salt, do you mean what you say ? No. When you say 'the world is round,' do you mean what you say ? No. It is true, but you don't mean it”
