Summary

This quote suggests that a voice or message isn't solely defined by the words spoken or the physical actions taken to express it. It emphasizes the idea that the true power of a voice lies within the thoughts and ideas it carries, separate from the physical body that gives it life. Just as an eagle soars on its own, detached from any nest or external support, a voice must also transcend its origins and stand independently to have a profound impact. It emphasizes the inner strength and independence required for one's message to truly resonate and endure.
