“the best contacts are when one knows the obstacles and still wants to preserve a relation.”
“Well, you never knew exactly how much space you occupied in people's lives. Yet from this fog his affection emerged--the best contacts are when one knows the obstacles and still wants to preserve a relation.”
“Each contact with a human being is so rare, so precious, one should preserve it.”
“I've got a sense of self-preservation. OK, granted , it's still in the original shrink wrap but I've got one if I ever want to use it.”
“It still holds true that man is most uniquely human when he turns obstacles into opportunities.”
“Speech is civilization itself. The word, even the most contradictory word, preserves contact—it is silence which isolates.”
