"Words – so innocent and powerless as they are, as standing in a dictionary, how potent for good and evil they become in the hands of one who knows how to combine them."

Wedding
More From Nathaniel Hawthorne
- "Our most intimate friend is not he to whom we show the worst, but the best of our nature."
- "We sometimes congratulate ourselves at the moment of waking from a troubled dream; it may be so the moment after death."
- "Nobody, I think, ought to read poetry, or look at pictures or statues, who cannot find a great deal more in them than the poet or artist has actually expressed. Their highest merit is suggestiveness."
More In Wedding
- "For her fifth wedding, the bride wore black and carried a scotch and soda."― Phyllis Battelle
- "I wanted to define the vocabulary of a wedding both visually and intellectually. The book is about more than weddings or wedding dresses. It’s a metaphor for women’s lives, their creativity."― Vera Wang
- "I think that weddings have probably been crashed since the beginning of time. Cavemen crashed them. You go to meet girls. It makes sense."― Christopher Walken
