Lancelot tried to have a Word. His Word was valuable to him not only because he was good, but also because he was bad. It is the bad people who need to have principles to restrain them. T. H. White
He did not like the grown-ups who talked down to him, but the ones who went on talking in their usual way, leaving him to leap along in their wake, jumping at meanings, guessing, clutching at known words, and chuckling at complicated jokes as they suddenly dawned. He had the glee of the porpoise then, pouring and leaping through strange seas. T. H. White
The word "feral" has a kind of magic potency which allied itself to two other words, "ferocious" and "free." To revert to a feral state! T. H. White
T. H. White quote: "But they woke him with words, their cruel bright weapons."
But they woke him with words, their cruel bright weapons. T. H. White
