“If and perhaps.... The language of procrastination and uncertainty. That's just people looking to justify their own lack of action.”

“Lacking a shared language, emotions are perhaps our most effective means of cross-species communication. We can share our emotions, we can understand the language of feelings, and that's why we form deep and enduring social bonds with many other beings. Emotions are the glue that binds.”

“I'd be adrift in an ocean of uncertainty." Yes, and perhaps that's the only honest place to be. Another name for uncertainty is humility. No one ever blew up a mosque, church, or abortion clinic after yelling, "I could be wrong.”

“So much of language is unspoken. So much of language is compromised of looks and gestures and sounds that are not words. People are ignorant of the vast complexity of their own communication.”

“How many people have been thus led, through lack of self-confidence, to stifle their most justified doubts?”

“Uncertainty is caused by a lack of knowledge. Hesitation is the product of fear.”
