What’s a sentence a girl told you that is still stuck in your head to this day?

When my partner said to me about some complexy-propounded post on philosophy I’d written that, “A wizard uses precisely the word he means to.”

I couldn’t give less of a crap about what some random mook thinks about my writing. I care deeply, though, about her opinion; she’s my audience when I write anything on this blog. I already know I’m a good writer. It is a different thing altogether when someone you respect enormously and hold in the highest regard calls you a “wizard.”

That means something.
