Conveyed Quotes

What gets conveyed is not always what was intended, and these quotes explore that gap. One voice notes that basic emotion can be conveyed through almost anything once people see shared humanity in it. Another reflects on a poor choice of words that conveyed an unintended impression, prompting a public apology. A third marvels at how much feeling a mature, even declining, voice can still convey through song.

Clear communication depends on choosing words carefully, since meaning is always Being shaped by how it's said.
