This quote suggests that even the simplest or most modest experiences are sufficient in conveying and expressing our thoughts. It implies that one does not need extravagant or extravagant circumstances to effectively communicate ideas or feelings.

Thus, it emphasizes the importance of the substance and essence of one's thoughts rather than the external frills or elaborateness of their experiences.
