“From what vague signs, for instance, do the young gentlemen of this audience conclude that they have won the favor of a lady? Do you await an explicit declaration, an ardent embrace, or does not a glance, scarcely perceptible to others, a fleeting gesture, the prolonging of a hand-shake by one second, suffice? […] Therefore, let us not undervalue small signs; perhaps by means of them we will succeed in getting on the track of greater things.” — Sigmund Freud
