"It's a paper town, look at all those culs-de-sac, those streets that turn in on themselves, all the houses that were built to fall apart.

Words are tools; to educate, support, mend, and express. They shouldn't be used to break down each other's minds... they should be used to fill the empty spaces in our heads with insight, in order to see what most eyes can't.
