Nonverbal communication forms a social language that is in many ways richer and more fundamental than our words.

We routinely participate in elaborate nonverbal exchanges even when we are not consciously aware of doing so.

Scientists attach great importance to the human capacity for spoken language. But we also have a parallel track of nonverbal communication, which may reveal more than our carefully chosen words, and sometimes be at odds with them.

When two people are paying close attention to each other, check out the others in the group and see who's observing. Human dynamics are amazing, but so much that you might learn is subconscious interplay.

When you have a nonverbal conversation with a total stranger, then he can't cover himself with words, he can't create a wall.

The most important thing in the face is the eyes, and if you can make the eyes talk, you're halfway there.

Verbal and nonverbal activity is a unified whole, and theory and methodology should be organized or created to treat it as such.

It is quite unsettling looking into someone's eyes, especially when you aren't used to it.

When I look someone in the eye, they are immediately smitten with me.
