I'm not an escapist, but the value of language is that it can create places that did not exist before.

It actually builds a future - that's how evolution occurs.

Paulo Freire

Faith is the element that builds the bridge in the absence of concrete evidence.

Howard W. Hunter

He that gives good advice, builds with one hand; he that gives good counsel and example, builds with both; but he that gives good admonition and bad example, builds with one hand and pulls down with the other.
