Language Quote by Cheryl Matthynssens

“Words have power, my son. Words can cut to the heart and soothe the deepest hurts. They can be puzzles that leave another pondering for days. I prefer to cast my spells of words in ways that make others think. It is a fault, I fear, that has come with age.” quote by Cheryl Matthynssens
