We wear clothes, and speak, and create civilizations, and believe we are more than wolves. But inside us there is a word we cannot pronounce and that is who we are.

About This Quote

The idea of the soul is one that is widely disputed in both philosophy and religion. Many people believe that there is no such thing as a soul, but many others believe strongly in the existence of this concept. Either way, the idea of “the soul” has become a concept that is very important to many people today. When we wear clothes, speak, and create civilizations, we believe we are more than wolves. But inside us there is a word we cannot pronounce and that is who we are.
