language

That's what careless words do. They make people love you a little less.

-The God of Small Things, Arundhati Roy

"Once you can express yourself, you can tell the world what you want from it. All the changes in the world, for good or evil, were first brought about by words." –Jackie O.

“Language doesn’t just make things—it assembles, cobbles together, entire worlds and all the relations within.”
