Summary

This quote suggests that language serves as a means of expressing our thoughts, similar to how songs, food, and dance are vehicles for self-expression. Just as songs convey emotions, food communicates cultural traditions, and dance conveys movements and stories, language allows us to articulate and share our thoughts, ideas, and beliefs. In this analogy, language is depicted as a form of artistic expression that reflects the inner workings of our minds.
