Hughnon sighed. "Words are too important to be left to machinery. We've got nothing against engraving, you know that. We've nothing against words being nailed down properly. But words that can be taken apart and used to make other words...well, that's downright dangerous. And I thought you weren't in favor, either?"

"Broadly, yes," said the Patrician. "But many years of ruling this city, Your Reverence, have taught me that you cannot apply brakes to a volcano. Sometimes it is best to let these things run their course. They generally die down again after a while."

"You have not always taken such a relaxed approach, Havelock," said Hughnon.

The Patrician gave him a cool stare that went on for a couple of seconds beyond the comfort barrier.

"Flexibility and understanding have always been my watchwords," he said.

"My god, have they?"

"Indeed."

Good article 👆 to educate yourself with.

Trump's words were important every time he spoke, I didn't take notes like this guy but I do remember trying to figure out what he was saying and I got a lot right. It was like he spoke in coded messages. 🤔

Words are spells

Words are spells, they hold such power

They can build us up, or make us cower

In their hand lies the choice to heal or hurt

With every word, we can mend or exert

They are like wands, in the hands of a magician

Creating a world, with each careful incantation

They have the power to shape our reality

So choose them wisely, with utmost sensitivity

For words can heal wounds, soothe a broken heart

They can inspire and give a fresh start

They can bring hope to those lost in despair

And show them a path, to rise from their lair

But words also have the power to harm

To spread hatred and incite alarm

With just a few syllables, they can ignite a fire

That burns through love, and all that we desire

So let us use our words to spread love and light

To uplift others and bring back their sight

For the power of words is a gift we've been given

A responsibility to use them for good, and not forbidden

In this world filled with chaos and strife

Let our words be agents of hope and life

For they hold the key to a better tomorrow

Let us wield them wisely, and banish all sorrow

So let us remember, before we speak

The power of words, in every language unique

They shape our thoughts, and our actions too

And in the end, they define me and you.

Some people like to settle down with a good book. No-one in possession of a complete set of marbles would like to settle down with a book of magic, because even the individual words have a private and vindictive life of their own and reading them, in short, is a kind of mental Indian wrestling. Many a young wizard has tried to read a grimoire that is too strong for him, and people who've heard the screams have found only his pointy shoes with the classic wisp of smoke coming out of them and a book which is, perhaps, just a little fatter. Things can happen to browsers in magical libraries that make having your face pulled off by tentacled monstrosities from the Dungeon Dimensions seem a mere light massage by comparison.

Terry Pratchett, Mort

The beauty of the written word is that you don't see it on the surface. To the illiterate eye, it's just lines on paper. But just like with a beautiful soul, you have to dive into its world to unravel its full magnificence. ✨

"But there’s a message there for everyone and it is that people can unite, that democracy from below can challenge oligarchy, that imprisoned migrants can be freed, that fascism can be overcome, and that equality is emancipatory.

-- Angela Y. Davis in her book 'Freedom Is a Constant Struggle: Ferguson, Palestine, and the Foundations of a Movement'

In films, we are voyeurs, but in novels, we have the experience of being someone else: knowing another person's soul from the inside. No other art form does that. And this is why sometimes, when we put down a book, we find ourselves slightly altered as human beings. Novels change us from within.

— Donna Tartt, in this 2013 interview by Laurie Grassi for Chatelaine
