“not responding verbally isn't necessarily being passive. we are communicating on many levels simultaneously”
“Constantly talking isn't necessarily communicating.”
“When you bring an idealised relationship down to the level of an ordinary one it isn't necessarily the ordinary one that suffers'.”
“All communication involves faith; indeed, some linguisticians hold that the potential obstacles to acts of verbal understanding are so many and diverse that it is a minor miracle that they take place at all.”
“The most important thing in communication is to hear what isn't being said.”
“I find that it is not the circumstances in which we are placed, but the spirit in which we respond, that constitutes our level of faith.”
