R.G. Collingwood
“Every kind of language is... specialized form of bodily gesture, and in this sense it may be said that the dance is the mother of all languages... an original language of total bodily gesture.

This "original" language of total bodily gesture is thus the one and only real language, which everybody who is in any way expressing himself is using all the time. What we call speech and the other kinds of language are only parts of it which have undergone specialized development.”
R.G. Collingwood, The Principles of Art

Nenia Campbell
“You can lie in any language on earth, and body language is no exception.”
Nenia Campbell, Cease and Desist

Michael Finkel
“His chief form of entertainment was reading. The last moments he was in a cabin were usually spent scanning bookshelves and nightstands. The life inside a book always felt welcoming to Knight. It pressed no demands on him, while the world of actual human interactions was so complex. Conversations between people can move like tennis games, swift and unpredictable. There are constant subtle visual and verbal cues, there's innuendo, sarcasm, body language, tone. Everyone occasionally fumbles an encounter, a victim of social clumsiness. It's part of being human.
To Knight, it all felt impossible. His engagement with the written word might have been the closest he could come to genuine human encounters. The stretch of days between thieving raids allowed him to tumble into the pages, and if he felt transported he could float in bookworld, undisturbed, for as long as he pleased.”
Michael Finkel, The Stranger in the Woods: The Extraordinary Story of the Last True Hermit

Steven Magee
“The human body when kept in an indoor environment of low lux light will not realize that it is daytime, as it cannot sense the increasing levels of daylight that the genetics are accustomed to. As such, by late morning your body may start sending a signal for you to sleep!”
Steven Magee, Electrical Forensics

Sam Owen
“Confidence is not posting endless selfies, or repeatedly protesting how happy or in love we are, it’s a subtle yet noticeable sheen that emanates from our being - our eyes, our words, our body language.”
Sam Owen, 500 Relationships And Life Quotes: Bite-Sized Advice For Busy People

Terry Pratchett
“Lord Vetinari in a meeting: “what people said was what they wanted him to hear. He paid a lot of attention to the spaces outside the words, though. That’s where the things were that they hoped he didn’t know and didn’t want him to find out.”
Terry Pratchett

Val McDermid
“Everybody seemed to like Skype except him, Tony thought, closing his office door then settling in front of his screen. His dislike was both personal and professional. Everybody looked weird on Skype. Everyone, frankly, looked like a potential patient. There was something very unsettling about that fish-eyed stare. Even people he liked looked deranged. From a professional perspective, the trouble was you could never see enough of the person you were in conversation with to gauge their body language. They might be giving off all sort of signals you’d be aware of in what his boss had taken to calling “F2F encounters,â€� but the Skype interface could hide a multitude of clues.”
Val McDermid

J-F Bouchard
“By voluntarily adopting a dominated body posture you display the fact that you have accepted to be inferior.”
J.F. Bouchard, James Bond`s Unshakable Confidence: Mission Pack

“Don’t pass my voice, what I said about! If you want to-pack the expression, the context and even the body language with it. Misunderstandings are like by-product of mishandling the whole transportation of what was said.”
Praveen Chenna

John Steinbeck
“Her face looked for the answer that is always concealed in language.”

A.K. Kuykendall
“I'm sitting naked on the edge of the bed with my legs ajar, caressing soft parts; marveling at the pulchritude of her navel. I look up to admire the magnificent curvature of her perky breasts and her endearing smile. I was never in love with her desire to undergo cosmetic surgery. I was then, and have fervently remained, in love with her happiness.”
A.K. Kuykendall

“Don't let your body language betray the confidence and sincerity of your words. Be truthful and speak with conviction.”

Janna Cachola

Sara Sheridan
“People responded to body language without even thinking. It was important to get it absolutely right.”
Sara Sheridan, British Bulldog

Kate Kae Myers
“I hoped he figured out what my body language said: You're less than nothing to me.”
Kate Kae Myers, Inherit Midnight

Petra Hermans
“If My Body Language Cannot Help ... Falling ...
In Love By Your Challenges ... I Will Not Control.”

“When you're ready to live as the victor and not the victim, you have to change the language that you give to yourself and then you have to change the conversation that you give to others. Words matter.”
Bobby F. Kimbrough, Jr.

Jaclyn Moriarty
“I feel like people are always speaking with their eyes, their bodies, their hands, gestures, intonation, and their words - only mostly all we hear are the words. And the words get in the way. So if we just spoke with our eyes we might get closer to the truth.”
Jaclyn Moriarty, A Tangle of Gold
