Summary

This quote conveys the power of words and their impact on a person. The speaker acknowledges their own timidity, suggesting that they are easily influenced by others' words. They feel defenseless against the persuasive nature of language, even when warnings signal potential harm. Consequently, they find themselves figuratively covered with the paint of someone else's influence and unable to escape the effects of the words that have marked them. Ultimately, the quote reveals the vulnerability of the individual in the face of persuasive and influential language.

There is only one thing I wast to say about Ohio that has a political tinge, and that is that I think a mistake has been made of recent years in Ohio in failing to continue as our representatives the same people term after term.
