"Eloquence resides as much in the tone of voice, in the eyes, and in the expression of the face, as in the choice of words."

Previous Quote

I just don't think people get off on language anymore. Language used to be an elevated art. It used to be for people what music can be. But people don't learn to do that anymore, so eloquence is merely a matter of waste. Who needs a good vocabulary and proper English? Eloquence - it's dead and who needs it?
