“I learned that the world has a soul, and that whoever understands that soul can also understand the language of things.”

“The world has a soul and whoever understands that soul can also understand the language of many things.”

“How it is that animals understand things I do not know, but it is certain that they do understand. Perhaps there is a language which is not made of words and everything in the world understands it. Perhaps there is a soul hidden in everything and it can always speak, without even making a sound, to another soul.”

“If I can learn to understand this language without words, I can learn to understand the world.”

“Its language is a language which the soul alone understands, but which the soul can never translate. ”

“You came so that you could learn about your dreams," said the old woman. "And dreams are the language of God. When he speaks in our language, I can interpret what he has said. But if he speaks in the language of the soul, it is only you who can understand.”
