 Oh, it's not to say that sticks and stones don't hurt. They hurt too, but you can get over the damage done by them. You can even get over physical want. You can be hungry, you can be starving almost to the point of death, certainly severe malnutrition, and then you can have food, you can recover, regain health, you can more or less almost forget about the period of famine. But it's not that way with words. Words cut deeper than that.
