    ‘What often happens in any relationship is that


    language itself becomes a mask and a means of
    clouding and confusing the relationship. If the
    spoken language is stripped away and the only
    communication left is body language, the truth
    will find some way of poling through. Spoken
    language itself is a great obscurer”

    Body Language, Julius Fast, MJF books, 1970.
