Quote 11, Vacillate

"A word is dead when it is said, some say. I say it just begins to live that day."
-Emily Dickinson

This quote is saying that once something is said then it is considered dead, but Emily is saying that once something is said then it will live on from that day on. People can vacillate on weather or not the word is dead or if it lives on from the day that it is said.
