Eyes...They speak all languages.
Interpretation
The eyes have a universal ability to communicate emotions and thoughts, transcending language barriers.
This quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson suggests that the eyes can convey feelings, intentions, and emotions without the need for spoken language, emphasizing the profound connection and understanding that exists between people through non-verbal communication. It highlights the idea that true understanding often goes beyond words and is found in the subtleties of expression.

I and this mystery, here we stand.
I may not agree with what you have to say but I will fight you to the death for the right to fight you to the death.
A hallucination is a species of reality, as capable of teaching you as a videotape about Kilimanjaro or anything else that falls through your life.
