More on Communication
“We can be civil to each other, and we can try to express ourselves acknowledging that we're all patriots, we're all Americans, and not assume the absolute worst in people's motives.”
“Let us make a special effort to stop communicating with each other, so we can have some conversation.”
“You can get around to meaningful conversations more quickly in the dark than with the sun tickling your face.”
More on Misunderstanding
“I'm thought of as this pissy, complaining, freaked-out schizophrenic who wants to kill himself all the time.”
“Nowadays, saying what you really think can be a serious error since one risks being misunderstood.”
“The surest sign of the estrangement of the opinions of two persons is when they both say something ironical to each other and neither of them feels the irony.”
