Words are tears

“Words are tears that have been written down. Tears are words that need to be shed. Without them, joy loses all its brilliance & sadness has no end. Thank you, then, for your tears.”

Paulo Coelho

Words are like nets

“Words are like nets – we hope they’ll cover what we mean, but we know they can’t possibly hold that much joy, or grief, or wonder. Finding God is like that, too. If it’s happened to you, you know what it feels like. But try to describe it to someone else - & language only takes you so far.”

Jodi Picoult
