Washington Irving

“There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are messengers of overwhelming grief...and unspeakable love.” -Washington Irving

 

 

I think hes saying that tears are a special thing and when someone is crying its not because they are weak, even guys. It takes a strong person to cry in front of others. And that tears are a powerful things and should now be disreagarded. Also that tears are more powerful than words in some ways, especially when a guy cries. All because girls could cry all the time and people would just just used to it, girls can cry everyday and sometimes for no reason. Tears are a very powerful unverbal form of communication.
