“Words can be whispered bullet-quick when no one's looking, and words don't leave blood or bruises behind. Words disappear without a trace. That's what makes them so powerful. That's what makes them so important.

All the evil in man, one would think, should disappear on contact with Nature, the most spontaneous expression of beauty and goodness.”
