“One must always be careful of books and what is inside them, for words have the power to change us.” — Cassandra Clare
(But, isn’t this one of the main points of books??? This seems to be a strange quote coming from an author . . . of books. Is this a line from one of her characters, in one of her books? Or, is she trying to make some kind of “political correctness” point? It just sounds like censorship – which, unfortunately, is what a lot of political correctness really is – to me. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

Perhaps she needs to take her (novel’s) own advice? 😛 Thanks for the mention.
I like THAT, Ms. Hill! — YUR :-p
It’s easy to miss the irony in the Cassandra Clare quote. It’s kinda like “Be careful what you pray for. You might get it.”
Thanks, Wayne! I can dig irony. It’s just not always apparent when a quote like this is not put into some kind of context.
