Dejan StojanovicThe same word we love and hate, leaves in different directions, taking different paths.
About This Quote
It is true that words can hurt. They can be used to barter with, take advantage of, and abuse the people who hear them. However, they are also powerful tools for communication. Because they are so intimate, they are able to pierce our hearts and stir our emotions.
Vocabulary shapes our lives by setting the boundaries of what is acceptable for us to say to each other. When we expose ourselves to the things spoken by others, we are letting them in. When we go too far, however, we may find that the same word that brings us joy can also cause us pain.
