Sticks and stones may break my bones but your words were always the hardest.
~ Dominic Riccitello
Because that saying about sticks and stones is a pack of lies. Unkind words hurt more than anything else. You end up carrying them around in your head, wondering if they’re true. Bruises fade, but self-doubt follows you forever.
~ Kate Lattey
I'd rather have names to hurt me, than my bones broken with sticks and stones.
~ Anthony Liccione
The power of words to deceive is a danger far exceeding any we might encounter from physical weapons. Sticks and stones can break bones! But words can lead worlds into ruin!
~ Steve Bivans
