Quote by Henry David Thoreau

You know about a person who deeply interests you more than you can be told. A look, a gesture, an act, which to everybody else is insignificant tells you more about that one than words can.

You know about a person who deeply interests you more than y

Summary

This quote suggests that true understanding of someone goes beyond words. It implies that there are certain nonverbal cues, like a look, gesture, or act, that can reveal more about a person's true nature and intentions than any amount of spoken communication. These subtle expressions have a significant impact on someone who is deeply interested in getting to know that person, enabling a deeper understanding and connection that only the perceptive individual can apprehend.

When adults say, 'Teenagers think they are invincible' with that sly, stupid smile on their faces, they don't know how right they are. We need never be hopeless, because we can never be irreparably broken. We think that we are invincible because we are. We cannot be born, and we cannot die. Like all energy, we can only change shapes and sizes and manifestations. They forget that when they get old. They get scared of losing and failing. But that part of us greater than the sum of our parts cannot begin and cannot end, and so it cannot fail.
