What does
That speaks volumes to me
mean? Could you elaborate it in terms of feelings please?
For example in a context:
This quote speaks volumes to me
My guesses are the following but I am not sure how close I am.
It makes a sense for me. I think in the same way.
It is already true for me ( and my life).
It is wise and I will apply it to my life.
A situation as given in words or descriptions is said to speak volumes for or to somebody.
"The plight of the poor in urban slums speaks volumes to me." "The fact he doesn't help his family speaks volumes to me."
Not a quote. Some situation speaks volumes to me.
It means: is meaningful to me in an important manner.
