We knew the difference between that which cannot be expressed and that which must. We understood that while words are a path taking us only so far, they are a requisite to the journey. They are like road maps that show us which way to go.

About This Quote

The idea that words alone cannot express certain things is a common belief that is very wrong. There are some times when we cannot express how we feel with just the right words. When we cannot, we must show our love and understanding through actions. We can show our love for someone by doing things for them. We can understand their feelings by listening to what they have to say and not interrupting them as they share their thoughts with us.
