Summary

This quote highlights the challenge of expressing our thoughts and ideas accurately in spoken words. While we often enjoy the act of thinking, when it comes to articulating our thoughts to others, our ability to convey them falls short. It suggests that our ideas and opinions vanish like phantoms, escaping our minds and losing their essence before we can effectively communicate them. The quote also implies that verbal communication may not fully capture the depth and nuances of our thoughts, emphasizing the limitations of language in conveying our true intentions.
