Words are seeds just like pictures. They take life instantly or overtime, then give birth to ideas which in turn result to actions and a way of life.

Words that paint ideas which are either
1. true,
2. appear to be logically correct or
3. difficult to disprove with any degree of certainty
eventually grow in everyone, even on those who initially reject the ideas it illustrates.

Has someone who doubted you in an argument ever showed up to you sometime latter on to say "...you were right". ?

Clever words or word combinations which result in an incorrect idea also grow in many people. If the person's brain cannot find a subsequent counter proof at the time of reception of the words, it will grow in them. The only thing that can stop the growth of those words into the manifestation of accepted ideas is if the subjects find a subsequent disproof.
Over history, we have seen religious leaders lead their followers into suicide or war just by using vague clever words to answer direct questions and talk to the people.

What if the subjects accept the words and one of its instructions asks them not to accept or investigate any other counter logic? They become permanently trapped and would not know why they can't move beyond the limits of the ideologies they have. They will not dare to check any other better logic. They will reject all other doctrines and way of life for a reason they cant tell.

Words sink in, grow into ideas and become a way of life of the subjects if not countered along the way. This also happens if the subjects internal logic is defeated and overridden by the logic presented by the new words they are receiving.
It's like a virus creeping into a system.

This growth may happen instantly, or over time. But as long as it is planted successfully , it will grow.

Finally, a subject can forget where they got the idea from or who first told them if:
1. Its presented in such a way to make them think its a characteristics they already possess.
2. The new words presents a barely noticeable modification to the original logic of the subject.
Eg. "You know we are friends? Good friends keep secrets of each other. So you should not ever tell anyone this".
3. They heard it in their sleep.

That way, they will still think the idea came to them naturally. Or they discovered it through intuition by themselves.

A person can plant ideas in their own mind using words eg. Pep talks.
Words have power and it's one of the primary ways a human brain takes instructions.
People who know this have always controled others over the ages.
This is a good time to re examine the ideologies and belief system you have
Are they original to you? Do you know why you reject the things you reject and do the things you do?
Stay blessed.
