We know words have numerous powers: to build up, knock down, change, create…..and nowhere do we feel this more than in books. Remind yourself with these quotes about words!

1. “That’s what careless words do. They make people love you a little less.”  Arundhati Roy, The God of Small Things

2. “I have hated words and I have loved them, and I hope I have made them right.”     Markus Zusak, The Book Thief

3.“We live and breathe words. …. It was books that made me feel that perhaps I was not completely alone.”  Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Prince   

4. “Words were different, when they lived inside of you.”    Benjamin Alire Saenz, Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe

5. “Books are easily destroyed. But words will live as long as people can remember them.”  Tahereh Mafi, Unravel Me
