Words, I think, are such unpredictable creatures.

No gun, no sword, no army or king will ever be more powerful than a sentence.

Swords may cut and kill, but words will stab and stay, burying themselves in our bones to become corpses we carry into the future, all the time digging and failing to rip their skeletons from our flesh.

Ignite Me, Tahereh Mafi

A short story is a different thing altogether a short story is like a quick kiss in the dark from a stranger.

Skeleton Crew, Stephen King
