Summary

This quote suggests that thoughts are like birds, free and unrestricted by limitations. However, when thoughts are confined by words, they lose their ability to truly take flight and express themselves fully. Just as a caged bird can only unfold its wings but not soar, thoughts can only partially unravel within the boundaries of language. It emphasizes the idea that some concepts and ideas may transcend words and labels, and true understanding often lies beyond the constraints of mere verbal expression.
