“Puedes experimentar con las palabras y descubrir el efecto que éstas tienen sobre las personas. Con este tema hay que ser cuidadoso. Creo que ya dije antes, en algún momento, o lo dijo un sabio, que las palabras son extremadamente poderosas y pueden lastimar en lo más hondo o, en cambio, curar las heridas. O puedes revelar con ellas el amor de tu vida, o la mejor manera de ponerle un nombre a lo que odias. Las palabras pueden hacer revoluciones sin necesidad de tener armas.”
― Benito Taibo, Persona normal
