"Because my love for you is beyond words, I decided to shut up"

- Nizar Qabbani

About this Quote

The quote "Because my love for you is beyond words, I chose to stop talking" by Nizar Qabbani talks to the profundity and intensity of love. The author suggests that love can not constantly be expressed through words, as the feelings related to it are just too immense to communicate. The decision to "shut up" is not one of reticence or cowardice, however rather an acknowledgment that words can not fully record the depths of the sensations within. It is an effective testament to the strength of authentic love, which defies sufficient explanation or expression. Eventually, the quote advises us that love is more than just the spoken or composed word, but rather a force that goes beyond language itself.
