John Maynard Keynes has it just about right

Words ought to be a little wild, for they are the assault of thoughts on the unthinking.
(I cribbed this from Paul Krugman’s column today, but the idea seems universal, eh?)

Good quote Kevin. I took one down a couple weeks ago from Robert Frost, on poetry:
Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.
That’s a good one too… And I just spotted this one from Huxley: “Words can be like X-rays if you use them properly — they’ll go through anything. You read and you’re pierced.”
