Body Language
Emotions such as joy, fear and sadness can all be gathered reliant on just a person’s face. However self-conscious emotions heavily involve the body in addition to the face (Darwin, 1965). This means that when humans are attempting to learn emotions, they have more to tend to, making the emotions harder to grasp.

Famous quotes containing the words body and/or language:
“Gin a body meet a body
Flyin’ through the air,
Gin a body hit a body,
Will it fly? and where?”
—James Clerk Maxwell (1831–1879)
“I now thinke, Love is rather deafe, than blind,
For else it could not be,
That she,
Whom I adore so much, should so slight me,
And cast my love behind:
I’m sure my language to her, was as sweet,
And every close did meet
In sentence, of as subtile feet,
As hath the youngest Hee,”
—Ben Jonson (1572–1637)
