Quotes
There was nothing more to be said on the subject of the future and their different destinies, for those words, uttered with complete calm and conviction, had done what every inspired melody does: condense a welter of emotions into an unconflicted clarity that one can instantly recall and call upon. Like a hierogram.
-- Kris Saknussemm, Enigmatic Pilot, 2011
Origin
Hierogram is a combination of hiero-, meaning "sacred," and -gram, meaning "something drawn."
