Summary

This quote suggests that art has the power to convey emotions, experiences, or concepts that may be difficult for individuals to express or describe using words alone. It implies that through visual, auditory, or other artistic mediums, people can connect with and understand certain intangible aspects of life that they struggle to communicate verbally. Art, therefore, acts as a language, enabling individuals to comprehend and engage with complex or ambiguous ideas that they may not be able to convey or comprehend through traditional forms of communication.
