An animal's eyes have the power to speak a great language.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We are a unique ape. We have language. Other animals have systems of communication that fall far short of that. They don't have the same ability to communicate complicated conditionals and what-ifs and talk about things that are not present.
With a creature, there's no voice, so the eyes become the voice. When you get eye-to-eye contact, a real connection, it's limitless - and incredibly thrilling.
Language is to the mind more than light is to the eye.
Human language is lit with animal life: we play cats-cradle or have hare-brained ideas; we speak of badgering, or outfoxing someone; to squirrel something away and to ferret it out.
Animals need to understand other species, if only to prey on them or escape from them.
Whether animals admit it or not, they and I communicate.
The best thing about animals is that they don't talk much.
Human language appears to be a unique phenomenon, without significant analogue in the animal world.
The eyes have one language everywhere.
To a teacher of languages there comes a time when the world is but a place of many words and man appears a mere talking animal not much more wonderful than a parrot.
