Quote by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
No one would talk much in society, if he knew how often he misunderstands others.
Summary
This quote suggests that people frequently misunderstand each other, leading to miscommunication. If individuals were aware of just how often they wrongly interpret the words and actions of others, there would be less talking in society as they would be hesitant to engage in conversations for fear of misunderstanding or being misunderstood. It implies that a lack of understanding between people can hinder effective communication and highlights the hidden complexities beneath social interactions.
