What I Mean to Say Is…
Words are powerful. They start can start a revolution, they can start a family, they can change a nation, they can end a war. We decorate our walls with words, some of us tattoo them on to our bodies. In the moment it can be hard to find just the right words which might also be why we like quotes so much. T. S. Eliot wrote, “It is impossible to say just what I mean!” It’s a familiar feeling.
A Google search for “quotes” returns 465 million results. That’s a lot of words. What is it about quotes that we like so much? I think for many of us it’s the chance to say exactly what we wish we could have said. Quotes give us a chance to try and see behind the curtain, to see if we can discover the secret of a great businessman, a world leader, a poet or sports hero. It’s as if by borrowing their words we can assume a little of them we can be more like them by sounding like them.

I loved this article, and I would have to say that my favorite verse is from the Book of Psalms in the Bible: “Thy Word is a Lamp for my feet and a Light for my path.” [Psalm 119:105].
