"Whether animals admit it or not, they and I communicate"

- Carolyn Heilbrun

About this Quote

This quote by Carolyn Heilbrun speaks with the concept that animals and humans can communicate with one another, even if animals do not admit it. This suggests that animals have a kind of interaction that is not necessarily spoken, however rather a kind of understanding that is shared in between species. This might be seen in the way animals engage with human beings, such as when a pet dog wags its tail when its owner gets back or when a cat purrs when it is being cuddled. This quote implies that animals and human beings can understand each other on a deeper level, even if animals do not explicitly admit it. This might be viewed as a form of compassion, where animals can sense the feelings of human beings and react appropriately. Eventually, this quote talks to the concept that animals and people can interact with one another, even if animals do not explicitly confess.
