Where the Forest Meets the Stars by Glendy Vanderah
“You don’t have to say anything.”
He sat back in his chair. “I won’t. As always, words fail when you most want to say the right thing.” “People think they have to say something, and it never makes me feel better.”
“I know. I’ve decided language isn’t as advanced as we think it is. We’re still apes trying to express our thoughts with grunts while most of what we want to communicate stays locked in our brains.”
― Glendy Vanderah, Where the Forest Meets the Stars
