“The desert has its holiness of silence, the crowd its holiness of conversation.”

“Perseverance is not a long race; it is many short races one after the other.”

“Writing, when properly managed, (as you may be sure I think mine is) is but a different name for conversation.”

“Good listeners have a huge advantage. For one, when they engage in conversation, they make people 'feel' heard. They 'feel' that someone really understands their wants, needs and desires. And for good reason; a good listener does care to understand.”

“I feel like my first conversation with someone, I really get a good feeling about who that person is and mainly about how open they are.”
