“The biggest mistake is believing there is one right way to listen, to talk, to have a conversation — or a relationship.”

“Failing to listen to the woman is one of the biggest mistakes a practitioner can make.”

“The most important thing in all human relationships is conversation, but people don’t talk anymore, they don’t sit down to talk and listen. They go to the theater, the cinema, watch television, listen to the radio, read books, but they almost never talk. If we want to change the world, we have to go back to a time when warriors would gather around a fire and tell stories.”

“My biggest mistake is in believing there are limits to how bad it can get.”

“One key to a healthy relationship is realizing that no 2 people see a situation or remember a conversation the same way. No malice intended. Simply the way it is.”

“Reading is a conversation. All books talk. But a good book listens as well.”
