Peace is built on understanding, and wars are built on misunderstandings. Never underestimate the power of a single word, and never recklessly throw around words. One wrong word, or misinterpreted word, can change the meaning of an entire sentence - and even start a war. And one right word, or one kind word, can grant you the heavens and open doors.","author":"Suzy Kassem","tags":["heaven","interpretsuzy-kassem","language","linguistics","meaning","peace","power-of-words","tones","understanding","war","words"],"id":3438,"author_id":"Suzy+Kassem"},{"text":"The good writing ideas don’t have to be about political turmoil, mass killings, capitalism, racism, injustice, etc. Find that one idea that has deep roots in your heart.","author":"Pawan Mishra","tags":["aspiring-writers","books","creative-people","creative-process","creative-writing","creativity","fiction","fundamentals-of-creative-writing","fundamentals-of-writing","literature","on-writing","power-of-words","on-writing","reading","short-story","stories","story-writing","storytelling","tips-on-writing","write","writers","writing","writing-advice","writing-craft","writing-fiction","writing-from-the-heart","writing-style"],"id":6876,"author_id":"Pawan+Mishra"},{"text":"Words are instruments, they are tools that, in their different ways, are as effective as any sharp edge or violate chemical.

Another sentence exists, another series of words, that could heal you. If you're lucky you will get the second, but you can be certain of getting the first.","author":"Philip K.

I read the prologues and the epilogues until I could tell you how many times Stephen King thanked his wife, Tabitha. I could tell you how the Columbia Indians made their long-houses, or how to make a solar toilet, or how to dry bear meat in the sun. I could tell you all of this if I could talk, but instead the words stayed inside of me and marveled. This I could accept, or so I told myself for a long time. Because the words were there, and they carried me to another place.","author":"Rene Denfeld","tags":["language","power-of-words","reading","rene-denfeld","words"],"id":14759,"author_id":"Rene+Denfeld"}],"pagination":{"page":1,"page_size":10,"total":267,"pages":27,"next":"?page=2\u0026page_size=10"}}
