Since words only gain full meaning when set in a specific context, husbands and wives must learn to speak to one another carefully–but there are two kinds of “carefully.” You should not have to be careful because you are handling a high explosive that might go off at any time. Rather, you should be careful because you are a jeweler of words–you are setting a fourteen-carat words in their appropriate place, and when you are done, it will be worth ten thousand dollars. This is the right kind of “carefully.”
Douglas Wilson – For a Glory and Covering, p. 122
