Excellent Quote

I just came across this excellent quote:

“Human speech is like a cracked tin kettle, on which we hammer out tunes to make bears dance when we long to move the stars” (Gustave Flaubert, Madame Bovary).

While the most eloquent speaker can draw up emotion from deep with in us, make our bodies shiver, and our blood boil, there are so many more dimensions to experience about the world that our language leaves flat and lifeless.
