“Powerful words harmonize heart and mind as if a symphony.”
“Words are pale shadows of forgotten names. As names have power, words have power. Words can light fires in the minds of men. Words can wring tears from the hardest hearts.”
“When we feel, a kind of lyric is sung in our heart. When we think, a kind of music is played in our mind. In harmony, both create a beautiful symphony of life.”
“Words have power. The power to soothe. The power to skewer someone through the heart. The power to render someone speechless.”
“Literature has the power to change lives, minds, and hearts.”
“Both reading and writing are experiences--lifelong-- in the course of which we who encounter words used in certain ways are persuaded by them to be brought mind and heart within the presence, the power, of the imagination.”
