a few words from Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes

A word is not a crystal, transparent and unchanged; it is the skin of a living thought and may vary greatly in color and content according to the circumstances and the time in which it is used.

I love the idea of a word being like skin. It's so true but I never would have pictured it that way. Love it.
