Speak a new language so that the world will be a new world.
Speak any language, Turkish, Greek, Persian, Arabic, but always speak with love
Heart is a sea, language is the shore. Whatever is in a sea hits the shore.
Not the ones speaking the same language, but the ones sharing the same feeling understand each other.
The heart has its own language. The heart knows a hundred thousand ways to speak.
In love’s country, language doesn’t have its place. Love is mute.
Empathy is even better than talking in one language
Hear this if you can: If you want to reach him You have to go beyond yourself And when you finally arrive at the land of absence Be silent Don’t say a thing Ecstasy, not words, is the language spoken there
All language is a longing for home.
Close the language-door, and open the love-window
Love is language that cannot be said, or heard.
Speak with the language of love.
Love will find its way through all languages on its own.
That which is false troubles the heart, but truth brings joyous tranquillity.
