“Families break up when they get hints you don't intend and miss hints that you do.”
As quoted in Bartlett's Book of Love Quotations (1994) <!-- cited either to "Comment" or as a comment, this may have been attributed to Frost at least as early as 1962-->

Context: The greatest thing in family life is to take a hint when a hint is intended — and not to take a hint when a hint isn't intended.

Context: I never loved nobody fully
Always one foot on the ground
And by protecting my heart truly
I got lost in the sounds
I hear in my mind
All these voices
I hear in my mind all these words
I hear in my mind all this music
And it breaks my heart
It breaks my heart...
“You don't understand music: you hear it. So hear me with your whole body.”
