A Quote

From one of my favourite books.
Credits go to Patrick Rothfuss on this one.


Words are pale shadows of forgotten names. As names have power, words have power. Words can light fires in the minds of men. Words can wring tears from the hardest hearts. There are seven words that will make a woman love you. There are ten words that will break a strong man’s will. But a word is nothing but a painting of a fire. A name is the fire itself.

    My lit instructor last semester loved these and she mentioned The Name of the Wind more than once. She got me hooked and you just reminded me. Thanks!
