Tadeusz BorowskiWhat a curious power words have.
About This Quote
Shakespeare said: "What a curious power words have." When we use the right word, we can change the person we are. The right word can stir up feelings of anger, love, and even joy. The right word can also calm us down; it can comfort us; it can make us laugh; and it can make us cry. The right word can make us understand and know what we’re talking about. All language is the same: it’s all made up of words – all of them – and words tie people together and make them communicate; they give people the power to communicate their thoughts and feelings to other people.
