“Like a couple that communicates by intention nearly as much as by word, so in tune are they to each other and their surroundings.”

“The true value of communication is often not so much what you say to each other but the simple, powerful fact that you care enough to say something to each other so often.”

“Words just confused things -- when they held each other like this, it made so much more sense.”

“Without trust and respect, only fear and distrust of others' motives and intentions are left. Without trust and respect between parties, it is nearly impossible to find good solutions to effective communication.”

“How much better might human communication be if words were as precious as diamonds? If each of us were allotted only 100 words per day?”

“Men often hate each other because they fear each other; they fear each other because they do not know each other; they do not know each other because they cannot communicate; they cannot communicate because they are separated.”
