Topic: CONVERSATION

It is not the correct thing to invite many people who like
to monopolize conversation; one of this kind will be
found amply sufficient.
-- Florence Howe Hall, "The Correct Thing" (1902)
Comment: Silence is more often golden than we think it is.

The real art of conversation is not only to say the right
thing in the right place, but, far more difficult still, to
leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.
-- Dorothy Nevill, "Under Five Reigns" (1910)
Comment: The best conversations are held with people who listen.

Up here in the hills you hardly ever get down to business
right off. First you say your howdys and then you talk
about anything else but what you come for, and finally,
when the mosquitoes start to bite, you say what's on
your mind. But you always edge into it, not to offend.
-- Phyllis Reynolds Naylor, "Shiloh" (1991)
Comment: The greatest gift of gab is found in one who gives you hope.

Her conversation was like a very light champagne,
sparkling but not mounting to the brain.
-- Gertrude Atherton, "Transplanted" (1919)
Comment: The ego keeps more people separated from each other than do walls.
