Its language is a language which the soul alone understands, but which the soul can never translate.

Arnold Bennett
About This Quote

This quote describes the language of love and the emotions that go along with it. We all know that love is an emotion that affects us deeply but we can never quite put into words exactly what we mean by the expression. When we say “I love you” we mean many different things, and we can never be entirely sure what the other person is thinking when they hear it. So how does our soul translate or interpret this language?
