Words are like leaves; and where they most abound,
Much fruit of sense beneath is rarely found.

The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ,
Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,
Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it.
--The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam
(trans. Edward Fitzgerald, 1st ed.)
“Be careful what you say—you may have to eat your words.”
I don’t think so much about eating my words as about wearing them. When someone sees me, the words come back to haunt like a miasma around me. No matter how colourful my dress, bad words turn everything grey and muddy brown.
A word after a word after a word is power.
