Art is humanity's most essential, most universal language. It is not a frill, but a necessary part of communication.

About This Quote

Language is a vital tool of the human mind. Without language, we would be lost. Language is a tool that can be used to convey ideas and concepts that cannot be expressed any other way. Language involves more than just words.

It also involves tone of voice, facial expressions, body movement and the way one speaks. People understand words as well as they understand actions and body language. In other words, people "read" faces as well as they read words.
