Quotes › Authors › M › Mark Doty › We learn to treasure words that people call us;
  • We learn to treasure words that people call us; we learn to live by words that hurt. We cannot toss them aside, so in time they become our dignity.

    Mark Doty: We learn to treasure words that people call us; 
we learn to live by words that hurt. We cannot toss
them aside, so in time they become our dignity.
    Mark Doty
