Talk is over-rated as a means of settling disputes.

Summary

This quote suggests that talking or engaging in discussion may not necessarily be the most effective method for resolving conflicts or disagreements.

The quote questions the belief that talking alone is always the best approach and offers an alternative perspective on resolving conflicts.

Have you reckon'd a thousand acres much? have you reckon'd the earth much? Have you practis'd so long to learn to read? Have you felt so proud to get at the meaning of poems? Stop this day and night with me and you shall possess the origin of all poems, You shall possess the good of the earth and sun, (there are millions of suns left,) You shall no longer take things at second or third hand, nor look through the eyes of the dead, nor feed on the spectres in books, You shall not look through my eyes either, nor take things from me, You shall listen to all sides and filter them from your self.
