Language Quote by Barbara Brown Taylor

“They sounded different from the mouth of a young mother than they did from the mouth of a widow. This was because the words did not come straight off the page. They percolated up through the silt and gravel of real people's lives so that the meaning in them was fluid, not fixed.” quote by Barbara Brown Taylor
