Quote by Mark Twain

Words are only painted fire; a look is the fire itself

Words are only painted fire; a look is the fire itself

Summary

This quote suggests that words have limitations in expressing intense emotions or sentiments, comparing them to "painted fire" that lacks the genuine intensity. On the other hand, a simple glance or expression communicates genuine and intense emotionsâ€”"the fire itself"â€”without the need for words. It highlights the power of non-verbal communication and the inability of words to fully capture or convey the depth of human emotion.
