Words have energy and power with the ability to help, to heal, to hinder, to hurt, to harm, to humiliate and to humble. | 101 |
| Anthony Carmona | Social media websites are no longer performing an envisaged function of creating a positive communication link among friends, family and professionals.

| Amy Klobuchar | Who would know but ten years ago that kids would be texting each other all the time, that that would be one of their main forms of communication.

And so many times, we're putting kids in very adult situations and expecting them to behave like they're 40 years old. | 101 |

| John Boyd Orr | Measured in time of transport and communication, the whole round globe is now smaller than a small European country was a hundred years ago. | 101 |

| Lesley Garrett | That was when I realised that music is the most profound, magical form of communication there is. | 101 |

| Ramez Naam | We've seen over time that countries that have the best economic growth are those that have good governance, and good governance comes from freedom of communication. It comes from ending corruption. It comes from a populace that can go online and say, 'This politician is corrupt, this administrator, or this public official is corrupt.' | 101 |
| Sara Zarr | We write in ways that, we generally hope, reflect real life, or at least look familiar to humans. And in life, recurring themes are a recurring theme. We never quite conquer a pet vice or a relationship pattern or a communication habit. We're haunted by our particular demons. | 101 |
| Shirin Neshat | Magical realism allows an artist like myself to inject layers of meaning without being obvious. In American culture, where there is freedom of expression, this approach may seem forced, unnecessary and misunderstood. But this system of communication has become very Iranian. | 101 |
| Deborah Tannen | Communication is a continual balancing act, juggling the conflicting needs for intimacy and independence. To survive in the world, we have to act in concert with others, but to survive as ourselves, rather than simply as cogs in a wheel, we have to act alone. | 101 |

I'm also interested in the invisible space between people in communication; the space guided by translation and misinterpretation. | 101 |

| Adam Oates | I can't be a hypocrite as a coach because as a player that's what I wanted. I wanted feedback, I wanted communication from the boss. I showed up for work, you can yell at me if you want, but I want input. So that's the kind of coach I want to be. | 101 |

| Dave Barry | The Internet is the most important single development in the history of human communication since the invention of call waiting. | 102 |
| Edward R. Murrow | The speed of communications is wondrous to behold. It is also true that speed can multiply the distribution of information that we know to be untrue. | 102 |
| Evgeny Morozov | The idea that the Internet favors the oppressed rather than the oppressor is marred by what I call cyber-utopianism: a naive belief in the emancipatory nature of online communication that rests on a stubborn refusal to admit its downside. | 102 |
| Ferdinand de Saussure | Within speech, words are subject to a kind of relation that is independent of the first and based on their linkage: these are syntagmatic relations, of which I have spoken. | 102 |

| Theodore White | Power in America today is control of the means of communication. | 102 |

| Victoria de los Angeles | Yes, it must be something that goes very well with my voice, let's say something that I understand that this would be good communication with the others, and I don't pretend for instance, to look for music that would be something that doesn't go with my personality. | 102 |
| Virginia Satir | Feelings of worth can flourish only in an atmosphere where individual differences are appreciated, mistakes are tolerated, communication is open, and rules are flexible - the kind of atmosphere that is found in a nurturing family. | 102 |
| William Albert Allard | Words and pictures can work together to communicate more powerfully than either alone. | 102 |
| Zygmunt Bauman | We live in a world of communication - everyone gets information about everyone else. There is universal comparison and you don't just compare yourself with the people next door, you compare yourself to people all over the world and with what is being presented as the decent, proper and dignified life. It's the crime of humiliation. | 102 |
| Ellen Stofan | Communication is an issue where we can improve, and if I can do anything to help, I am happy to. | 102 |

| Leo Rosten | Humor is the affectionate communication of insight. | 102 |
| Lyall Watson | The limits of sensory evolution in fish are defined very largely by their habitat. Water is physically supportive, carries some kinds of odour well, and is kind to sound - letting it travel several times faster than air will allow, but it inhibits other more personal kinds of communication. | 102 |
| Lynne Truss | Texting is a fundamentally sneaky form of communication, which we should despise, but it is such a boon we don't care. We are all sneaks now. | 102 |

| Dick Wolf | People recognize certain things, like 'D' means 'this dialogue stinks.' We're dealing with shows that are written here, shot in New York and posted back here. Accurate communication is a necessity. | 102 |
| Doug Aitken | Communication is paramount, and what medium or what format you utilize should be a non-issue. In some respects, that has created a barrier for new media, especially web new media, because often times maybe the media itself comes before the concept, before the ideas, and ends up navigating or dictating the outcome. | 102 |
| Karen Black | Illiteracy is rampant. People are out of communication. | 102 |
| Louis Nizer | Words of comfort, skillfully administered, are the oldest therapy known to man. | 102 |
| Palmer Luckey | In the past, before phones and the Internet, all communication was face-to-face. Now, most of it is digital, via emails and messaging services. If people were to start using virtual reality, it would almost come full circle. | 102 |
| Story Musgrave | Their spirituality was in nature, even though Emerson was a preacher on the pulpit, he ended up going out into nature for direct, face-to-face communication with God, if you want to call all of this creation part of God. | 102 |
| Bill Plympton | For me, the perfect film has no dialogue at all. It's purely a visual, emotional, visceral kind of experience.

I started out as an illustrator and a cartoonist and caricature artist, so for me the visual is primary. | 102 |
| David Rusenko | A Web site is the only medium of semipermanent communication where you can express yourself. | 102 |
| Shepard Smith | We don't communicate in full sentences anyway. We don't need all those words. | 102 |

| Tom McCarthy | With docs, there's often a very direct communication between the filmmaker and the audience. With narrative movies, we leave it a little bit more open. | 102 |
| Tony Bates | The education process is moving beyond the traditional classroom/lecture setting. More and more teachers are seeking tools and techniques to engage their classes and enrich their lessons. Video calling is one of these tools, as it removes barriers to communication and lets students move beyond the boundaries of their classrooms. | 102 |
| Armistead Maupin | But I'm acutely aware that the possibility of fraud is even more prevalent in today's world because of the Internet and cell phones and the opportunity for instant communication with strangers. | 102 |
| Dennis Ross | You don't have any communication between the Israelis and the Iranians. You have all sorts of local triggers for conflict. Having countries act on a hair trigger - where they can't afford to be second to strike - the potential for a miscalculation or a nuclear war through inadvertence is simply too high. | 102 |
| Graham McTavish | Technology is at the forefront of everything these days - communication, work. It's amazing and scary at the same time how robots have evolved, but I find it hard to believe that robots will completely rule the world. Not in my lifetime anyway. | 102 |
| Mary Szybist | I have always been attracted to apostrophe, perhaps because of its resemblance to prayer. A voice reaches out to something beyond itself that cannot answer it. I find that moving in part because it enacts what is true of all address and communication on some level - it cannot fully be heard, understood, or answered. | 102 |
| Pritam Chakraborty | I don't like talking unnecessarily, and my communication skills are zilch. I just can't converse with people. Maybe it's because of my stuttering or stammering, but I'm not confident of talking with people. I only talk to very close friends and family. | 102 |
| Scott McCloud | Today, comics is one of the very few forms of mass communication in which individual voices still have a chance to be heard. | 102 |
| Simon Kuznets | The dynamic drives of modern economic growth, in the countries that entered the process ahead of others, meant a reaching out geographically; and the sequential spread of the process, facilitated by major changes in transport and communication, meant a continuous expansion to the less developed areas. | 102 |
| Susan Ford | Having to go through an intervention and family counseling is a wonderful experience. I would almost recommend it to anybody. It opens a lot of communication, and it opens old sores, but once it is opened and hashed out, the rewards are far greater. | 102 |
| Robert Love | GPS is expensive because it is a very slow communication channel - you need to communicate with three or four satellites for an extended duration at 50 bits per second. | 102 |
| Tony Conrad | But picketing - picketing for or against something, and handing out literature - these are conspicuously formal actions. They have to be understood as indirect communication. | 102 |
| Alan J. Pakula | I am oblique; I think that has to do with my own nature. I like trying to do things which work on many levels, because I think it is terribly important to give an audience a lot of things they might not get as well as those they will, so that finally the film does take on a texture and is not just simplistic communication. | 102 |
| Roger Sessions | But communication is two-sided - vital and profound communication makes demands also on those who are to receive it... demands in the sense of concentration, of genuine effort to receive what is being communicated. | 102 |
| Rockwell Kent | Art must unquestionably have a social value; that is, as a potential means of communication it must be addressed, and in comprehensible terms, to the understanding of mankind. | 102 |
| Jillian Rose Reed | In high school, sometimes you just can't help who you have a crush on and who you fall for! If you fall for one of your friend's exes, for example, it's really all about communication and telling your friend. Hiding it is never a good thing. | 102 |
| Mary Martin | The communication is in the work and words are no substitute for this. | 102 |
| James Merrill | Strange about parents. We have such easy access to them and such daunting problems of communication. | 102 |
| Jo Ann Davis | As our country increasingly relies on electronic information storage and communication, it is imperative that our Government amend our information security laws accordingly. | 102 |
| Elon Musk | I think it's very important to have a feedback loop, where you're constantly thinking about what you've done and how you could be doing it better. I think that's the single best piece of advice: constantly think about how you could be doing things better and questioning yourself. | 103 |
| Peter Drucker | The most important thing in communication is hearing what isn't said. | 103 |
| Tony Robbins | To effectively communicate, we must realize that we are all different in the way we perceive the world and use this understanding as a guide to our communication with others. | 103 |
| D. H. Lawrence | Be still when you have nothing to say; when genuine passion moves you, say what you've got to say, and say it hot. | 103 |
| Emma Thompson | Any problem, big or small, within a family, always seems to start with bad communication. Someone isn't listening. | 103 |
| Erykah Badu | What does music mean to me? I don't think I would really be much without it, without it coming through me. It's my means of communication, my means of growth, my means of transportation from one point in my life to another. | 103 |
| Federico Fellini | A different language is a different vision of life. | 103 |
| Fred Wilson | Investing in management means building communication systems, business processes, feedback, and routines that let you scale the business and team as efficiently as possible. | 103 |
| Hans Hofmann | The ability to simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak. | 103 |
| Lee Krasner | With Jackson there was quiet solitude. Just to sit and look at the landscape. An inner quietness. After dinner, to sit on the back porch and look at the light. No need for talking. For any kind of communication. | 103 |
| Louis V. Gerstner, Jr. | It's about communication. It's about honesty. It's about treating people in the organization as deserving to know the facts. You don't try to give them half the story. You don't try to hide the story. You treat them as - as true equals, and you communicate and you communicate and communicate. | 103 |
| Orson Scott Card | Metaphors have a way of holding the most truth in the least space. | 103 |
| Sydney J. Harris | The two words 'information' and 'communication' are often used interchangeably, but they signify quite different things. Information is giving out; communication is getting through. | 103 |
| Nat Wolff | Jazz is smooth and cool. Jazz is rage. Jazz flows like water. Jazz never seems to begin or end. Jazz isn't methodical, but jazz isn't messy either. Jazz is a conversation, a give and take. Jazz is the connection and communication between musicians. Jazz is abandon. | 103 |
| Paul Watzlawick | It is difficult to imagine how any behavior in the presence of another person can avoid being a communication of one's own view of the nature of one's relationship with that person and how it can fail to influence that person. | 103 |
| Dries van Noten | Fashion shows are really my way of communication. | 103 |
| Lois Capps | Nurses serve their patients in the most important capacities. We know that they serve as our first lines of communication when something goes wrong or when we are concerned about health. | 103 |
| Story Musgrave | If we ever start communicating with living creatures from other planets, the number one priority is, how are you going to communicate information? Even between different cultures here on Earth, you get into communication problems. | 103 |
| James Levine | It has to be able to play at the maximum expression and communication in every style, and the only way you can do that is - like Verdi said - working with a file, every day, little by little, until the orchestra's collective qualities emerge. | 103 |
| Kristina McMorris | On occasion, I like to reread my grandfather's letters. While leafing through them, I'm saddened by what is being lost in modern communication. Soul-baring sentimentality isn't typically poured into text messages, tweets and emails. All too often, personal connections are brushed aside for the sake of convenience in a fast-paced world. | 103 |
| Miroslav Vitous | There is no roles. No one is keeping any roles. The drummer is also answering everybody and everything. So it is a constant conversation and communication between musicians on an extremely high level with extremely valuable material, motifs, and melodies. | 103 |
| Anne Archer | Communication is very important. And the arts do that, whether it's film or theater. | 103 |
| La Monte Young | If listeners aren't carried away to Heaven, I'm failing. | 103 |
| Michael K. Powell | So as I look at transitioning to the communication platforms of the future, I see that the beauty of Internet protocols is you get the separation of the layers between service and technology. | 103 |
| Cliff Shaw | To devise an information processing system capable of getting along on its own - it must handle its own problems of programming, bookkeeping, communication and coordination with its users. It must appear to its users as a single, integrated personality. | 103 |
| Stevie Smith | All poetry has to do is to make a strong communication. All the poet has to do is listen. The poet is not an important fellow. There will also be another poet. | 103 |

| John Sweeney | The church acknowledges some Scientologists choose to sever communications with family members who leave. The church says it is a fundamental human right to cease communication with someone. It adds disconnection is used against expelled members and those who attack the church. | 103 |
| Mary Martin | There is a world of communication which is not dependent on words. | 103 |
| Jeremy Heimans | Politics have been changed forever because of people. The Internet is one of the tools that has helped. And it isn't just politics. The new networked dynamics that are now possible with these new forms of communication are also changing the way people engage as consumers that demand more social value from corporations. | 103 |
| John Warnock | Without television and mass communication, that knowledge wouldn't exist. So I think it actually has the possibility of turning people into more understanding and more empathetic people. | 103 |
| Benjamin E. Mays | Honest communication is built on truth and integrity and upon respect of the one for the other. | 104 |

| Howard Rheingold | There is never going to be a substitute for face-to-face communication, but we have seen since the alphabet, to the telephone and now the Internet, that whenever people find a new way to communicate, they will flock to it. | 104 |
| Italo Calvino | It is not the voice that commands the story; it is the ear. | 104 |
| Nathaniel Hawthorne | Words - so innocent and powerless as they are, as standing in a dictionary, how potent for good and evil they become in the hands of one who knows how to combine them. | 104 |
| Quentin Bryce | The bonds that women share around the world, wherever we come from, they're very powerful and they have an ease of communication because we share those very important things of our families, our mothering, of improving opportunities for the next generation. | 104 |
| Walter Winchell | Today's gossip is tomorrow's headline. | 104 |
| William Bernbach | In communications, familiarity breeds apathy. | 104 |
| Benjamin Banneker | Evil communication corrupts good manners. I hope to live to hear that good communication corrects bad manners. | 104 |
| Charles Fillmore | Words are also seeds, and when dropped into the invisible spiritual substance, they grow and bring forth after their kind. | 104 |
| J. B. Priestley | The more we elaborate our means of communication, the less we communicate. | 104 |
| Leo Rosten | Extremists think 'communication' means agreeing with them. | 104 |
| Tina Louise | Mental communication without verbalization... all space is made up of waves and we are constantly sending and receiving messages from our brain. | 104 |
| Warren Rudman | The other thing about FEMA, my understanding is that it was supposed to move into the Department of Homeland Security... and be what it was, but also having a lot of lateral communication with all those others involved in that issue of homeland security. | 104 |
| William Allingham | Writing is learning to say nothing, more cleverly each day. | 104 |
| William Wiley | It's like there are all these languages available, especially in terms of image. Why confine yourself to only English? There's all these languages and possibilities and concepts to speak or communicate with. | 104 |
| Bruce Weber | You know, my dad wasn't a photographer or filmmaker by profession, but on Sundays, he would take pictures of me and my family or his pals horseback riding, and it was a means of communication and affection, a means of not being so dysfunctional with each other. | 104 |
| Clive Sinclair | Copywriting cuts the communication cord between word and feeling. By offering instant gratification, it atrophies more subtle emotions. | 104 |
| Dan Pallotta | It has been said that love is a function of communication. I believe that to be true. I believe, by extension, that human understanding is a function of communication. And the better human beings understand one another, the higher the level of functioning. | 104 |
| Gregory Bateson | Language commonly stresses only one side of any interaction. | 104 |
| Henry Cuellar | We intend to keep the lines of communication open with the Defense Department so we can help our border law enforcement agencies navigate the equipment application process. | 104 |
| Jacques Lacan | We emphasize that such a form of communication is not absent in man, however evanescent a naturally given object may be for him, split as it is in its submission to symbols. | 104 |
| Julian Lennon | Dad could talk about peace and love out loud to the world, but he could never show it to the people who supposedly meant the most to him: his wife and son. How can you talk about peace and love and have a family in bits and pieces - no communication, adultery, divorce? You can't do it, not if you're being true and honest with yourself. | 104 |
| Mike Fitzpatrick | The Internet has brought communities across the globe closer together through instant communication. | 104 |
| Trevor Dunn | Music is a very personal and emotional form of communication. | 104 |
| Chita Rivera | It's communication - that's what theatre is all about. | 104 |
| Mireille Guiliano | Intelligence, knowledge or experience are important and might get you a job, but strong communication skills are what will get you promoted. | 104 |
| Ben Wheatley | If you judge everything by how photographically real it looks, then you're missing out on a lot of what art is about and what communication is. There are ambiguities in life, and that should be reflected in art, cinema, and storytelling, I think. | 104 |
| Jim Evans | As a whole, the managers today are different in temperament. Most have very good communication skills and are more understanding of the umpire's job. That doesn't mean they are better managers. It just means that I perceive today's managers a bit differently. | 104 |
| Sylvia Sidney | Tim and Fritz Lang I loved working with. Not Hitchcock so much. There was no communication. | 104 |
| John Van Hamersveld | I look at graphic design as communication, meaning that the work has to have a vibe to connect to the viewer or perceiver. I make a black and white drawing and then add color digitally, bringing in a contemporary pattern to the composition to create a vibrance. | 104 |
| John Davidson | My approach is so simple; every song I sing, every story I tell, every move I make, must move the audience to laughter, tears, or inspiration. Otherwise, why do it? It's the communication. | 104 |
| John Warnock | I have seen that technology has contributed to improved communication, that it's contributed to better health care, that it's contributed to better food supplies, that it has contributed to all the basic human needs. | 104 |
| Charles R. Swindoll | There is nothing more fearful for the average person in our society than to stand before a group of people and speak. | 105 |
| Carol Burnett | Words, once they are printed, have a life of their own. | 105 |
| Dick Morris | Anybody who thinks that getting a communication from a voter in your district is spam - that guy is pork. Roast pork unless he changes his point of view. | 105 |
| Hideki Tojo | However, even during the preparations for action, we laid our plans in such a manner that should there be progress through diplomatic negotiation, we would be well prepared to cancel operations at the latest moment that communication technology would have permitted. | 105 |
| Tom Peters | Communication is everyone's panacea for everything. | 105 |
| William S. Burroughs | Language is a virus from outer space. | 105 |
| Earl Wilson | Science may never come up with a better office communication system than the coffee break. | 105 |
| Kenneth L. Pike | Without a possibility of change in meanings human communication could not perform its present functions. | 105 |
| Storm Jameson | Language is memory and metaphor. | 105 |
| Amy Klobuchar | Who would know but ten years ago that kids would be texting each other all the time, that that would be one of their main forms of communication. | 105 |
| Baron d'Holbach | Religion unites man with God, or forms a communication between them; yet do they not say, 'God is infinite?' If God be infinite, no finite being can have communication or relation with him. | 105 |
| Bob Parsons | The Internet has changed everything. We expect to know everything instantly. If you don't understand digital communication, you're at a disadvantage. | 105 |
| Dick Wolf | I try to just communicate what I want done as clearly and simply as possible. | 105 |
| Emily Robison | I don't think I set out to have a career in female groups, but it's just kind of happened, and by nature of having worked with my sister - growing up with a sister who also plays, and being in communication with other female musicians. | 105 |
| Marya Mannes | It's never what you say, but how you make it sound sincere. | 105 |
| Palmer Luckey | I'm a huge fan of online communities. I think that asynchronous internet-based communication forums such as Reddit and other discussion forums are one of the best things that could possibly have happened to collaborative invention. The Rift certainly would not exist without forums. | 105 |
| Will Cotton | The goal of art-making in general is communication. | 105 |
| Bill Plympton | I think each film I do has less and less dialogue. It really helps a lot for foreign sales, because when I go to Europe, there's very little problem with communication. All the gags are visual. The music they can understand, and it helps communicate a lot better. | 105 |
| Paul A. Volcker | The speed of communication, the speed of information transfer, the cheapness of communication, the ease of moving things around the world are a difference in kind as well as degree. | 105 |
| Timothy Garton Ash | That said, the question remains: how to strike the balance between free speech and mutual respect in this mixed-up world, both blessed and cursed with instant communication? We should not fight fire with fire, threats with threats. | 105 |
| Terry Gou | I respect the Japanese and especially like their execution and communication styles. Unlike the Koreans, they will not hit you from behind. | 105 |
| Brett Davern | Just open, honest communication is the best thing in the world. | 105 |
| Marc Garneau | Canada's a huge country, so to be able to unite the country through communication satellite technology or to be able to observe it through remote sensing technology from space is a natural fit for a country like Canada. | 105 |
| Mike Farrell | People seem to see no difference between an intimate conversation and a conversation at the water cooler. | 105 |
| John McWhorter | Loving your language means a command of its vocabulary beyond the level of the everyday. | 105 |
| Jorge M. Perez | We've been trying to open the gates of communication between Havana and Miami through art, which is apolitical most of the time: It doesn't have anything to do with politics and is only an exchange of ideas. | 105 |
| John Galsworthy | One's eyes are what one is, one's mouth is what one becomes. | 105 |
| Bill Gates | I think it's fair to say that personal computers have become the most empowering tool we've ever created. They're tools of communication, they're tools of creativity, and they can be shaped by their user. | 106 |
| Blaise Pascal | Eloquence is a painting of the thoughts. | 106 |
| George Bernard Shaw | The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place. | 106 |
| Harry S Truman | If you can't convince them, confuse them. | 106 |
| Abraham Maslow | But behavior in the human being is sometimes a defense, a way of concealing motives and thoughts, as language can be a way of hiding your thoughts and preventing communication. | 106 |
| Rudyard Kipling | Words are, of course, the most powerful drug used by mankind. | 106 |
| Anne Morrow Lindbergh | Good communication is just as stimulating as black coffee, and just as hard to sleep after. | 106 |
| Antoine Lavoisier | Languages are true analytical methods. | 106 |
| Florence Scovel Shinn | The game of life is a game of boomerangs. Our thoughts, deeds and words return to us sooner or later with astounding accuracy. | 106 |
| Frank Luntz | There are people still in the Republican Party that I believe practice the communication of anger, of disappointment, of regret, of pain, of sorrow, of suffering. That's not what the American people want to hear. | 106 |
| Herman Hesse | Everything becomes a little different as soon as it is spoken out loud. | 106 |
| Ralph Ellison | By and large, the critics and readers gave me an affirmed sense of my identity as a writer. You might know this within yourself, but to have it affirmed by others is of utmost importance. Writing is, after all, a form of communication. | 106 |
| Dick Costolo | One of the things that amazes me about Twitter is the way it utterly eradicates artificial barriers to communication. Things like status, geopolitics and so on keep people from talking to one another. Those go away in Twitter. You see exchanges that would never happen anywhere else. | 106 |
| Edward Sapir | It is quite an illusion to imagine that one adjusts to reality essentially without the use of language and that language is merely an incidental means of solving specific problems of communication or reflection. | 106 |
| Emraan Hashmi | My hectic work schedule does not often permit me time to visit temples, but my conversations with God don't depend on idol worship. Inside my heart, I have developed and sustained a direct communication with Him. | 106 |
| Leo Rosten | Why did God give me two ears and one mouth? So that I will hear more and talk less. | 106 |
| Lyle Lovett | Dad often told me, 'My job is to help my boss do his job and make him look good.' That was my dad's objective. Everything about the way he conducted himself was to communicate support for his superiors and respect for his coworkers. The way he dressed was his starting point in that communication. | 106 |
| Mira Nair | We have to realize only in communication, in real knowledge, in real reaching out, can there be an understanding that there's humanity everywhere, and that's what I'm trying to do. | 106 |
| Paul Greengard | The knowledge we have of communication among cells does not permit my giving you a sophisticated understanding. | 106 |
| Rick Pitino | Technology is a compulsive and addictive way to live. Verbal communication cannot be lost because of a lack of skill. The ability to listen and learn is key to mastering the art of communication. If you don't use your verbal skills and networking, it will disappear rapidly. Use technology wisely. | 106 |
| Thom Mayne | But I absolutely believe that architecture is a social activity that has to do with some sort of communication or places of interaction, and that to change the environment is to change behaviour. | 106 |
| Brian Acton | Your insurance broker has your telephone number, but your insurance broker doesn't have your Facebook ID. I think they are very different modes of communication. Commingling them can come with risk and peril. | 106 |
| Pat Gillick | Texting is a lot like an answering machine. If you don't want to talk to somebody, it's like screening your calls. To me, it's a way of communication, but not one that I favor. | 106 |
| Benny Green | I'm glad you asked that question, because of any musical situation I've been in, the communication feels great here with Russell. He really pays close attention to what I'm doing because he cares. | 106 |
| Charles Sturt | Now it is evident that a little insight into the customs of every people is necessary to insure a kindly communication; this, joined with patience and kindness, will seldom fail with the natives of the interior. | 106 |
| Alexander Kluge | As soon as you judge communication a little more rigorously, there is a possibility that the message will not be democratized. I have to say what I believe to be right. I have to spread out the statement among all the means of expression available to us at present. | 106 |
| Jeff Jordan | It's near impossible to always be right when you're innovating. It's easy to get emotionally invested in it, but you need to monitor its impact like a hawk and react if you don't like what you see. And if/when you pull it back, you want to do that communication with transparency and humility. | 106 |
| Benjamin E. Mays | Many well-meaning intelligent people have argued since the May 17, 1954, decision of the United States Supreme Court outlawing segregation in the public schools that communication between the races has broken down. | 107 |
| Frank Luntz | I don't understand why people whose entire lives or their corporate success depends on communication, and yet they are led on occasion by CEOs who cannot talk their way out of a paper bag and don't care to. | 107 |
| Helen Hayes | One has to grow up with good talk in order to form the habit of it. | 107 |
| Jada Pinkett Smith | My belief is that communication is the best way to create strong relationships. | 107 |
| Nikolai Gogol | There are certain words which are nearer and dearer to a man than any others. | 107 |
| Vanessa Diffenbaugh | We are more and more into technology. Everything is texting, and everything is instant. Flowers are completely impractical as a method of communication when you could just send a text. | 107 |
| Yuvraj Singh | I have been in love, and it was a great feeling. It's when you are attracted to and feel affection for someone. You want to do things for that person. But only love isn't enough in a relationship - understanding and communication are very important aspects. | 107 |
| Charles Hazlewood | It still amazes me how many musicians aren't really interested in engaging with their audience at all. Alfred Brendel, a pianist for whom I have the greatest respect, has described performance as a sacred communion between the artist and the composer. But what about the audience? Music is communication, a two-way street. | 107 |
| Josiah Gilbert Holland | The temple of art is built in words. | 107 |
| Lillian Hellman | I like people who refuse to speak until they are ready to speak. | 107 |
| Matthew Arnold | Poetry is simply the most beautiful, impressive, and widely effective mode of saying things. | 107 |
| May Sarton | The more articulate one is, the more dangerous words become. | 107 |
| Theodore Sturgeon | Writing is a communication. | 107 |
| Ernst Toller | Gradually I became aware of details: a company of French soldiers was marching through the streets of the town. They broke formation, and went in single file along the communication trench leading to the front line. Another group followed them. | 107 |
| Greg Lynn | By supporting all the links in the building chain and giving them an easy, intuitive tool for sharing model-based project information, GTeam enhances workflows and improves communication from design through to fabrication and assembly. | 107 |
| Jane Velez-Mitchell | In elementary school, we should teach nonviolent conflict resolution and healthy communication skills, which will help children cope with issues like rejection and sexuality later in life. | 107 |
| Kris Gopalakrishnan | Continuing on my theme of backing inclusive innovations, I am optimistic of the success of Uniphore. Man-machine communication is one of the more complex problems to solve. Uniphore's vision lends possibility of finding a solution to this very difficult problem, and the company has already made substantial progress. | 107 |
| Nancy Duarte | Words that are carefully framed and spoken are the most powerful means of communication there is. | 107 |
| Rashid Johnson | My father had a big brick cell phone, before anyone had a cell phone, because he was really just into that kind of thing - communication devices. I grew up between my father's laboratory and my mother's library. | 107 |
| Sean Covey | I think the greatest challenge between child and parent is communication. | 107 |
| Penelope Mitchell | Even though I was manically overachieving and involved in everything, I still never felt like I belonged. That's definitely affected my whole life and why I wanted to become an actor and tell people stories, because communication and feeling like you belong is such an integral part of our social fabric. | 107 |
| Ricardo Salinas Pliego | History has demonstrated that efforts to censure and control communication will not succeed. | 107 |
| Richie Havens | Music is the major form of communication. It's the commonest vibration, the people's news broadcast, especially for kids. | 107 |
| Tony Bates | Microsoft is committed to the ubiquity of the Skype experience - communication across every device and every platform will remain a primary focus. | 107 |
| Bruno Maag | Why do only the Latin script when Nokia has a billion consumers? Typography is the bedrock of communication; it can really connect people. | 107 |
| John Paul DeJoria | Being able to communicate with a loved one that you haven't talked to in a while because of some communication break makes their life and your life in a much better place. | 107 |
| Michael Che | If I'm doing a show on Sunday at 7 P.M., that wouldn't be the same show that I'd do at 11 P.M. on a Saturday - it's a different room at a different time of day with different sensibilities. That doesn't mean you have to compromise your art, but it is communication: you have to know how to talk to people. | 107 |
| Rod McKuen | I try not to put messages in my songs. My only message is man's communication with his fellow man. I want to narrow the gap of strangeness and alienation. | 107 |
| Marcel Marceau | To communicate through silence is a link between the thoughts of man. | 107 |
| John Cheever | The need to write comes from the need to make sense of one's life and discover one's usefulness. | 107 |
| Jeff Weiner | Facebook is massive in scale and scope. Twitter is a public communication forum, but if I'm following you, you're not necessarily following me. LinkedIn is, simply, a professional network. | 107 |
| Samuel Beckett | Words are all we have. | 108 |
| Charles Baudelaire | It is by universal misunderstanding that all agree. For if, by ill luck, people understood each other, they would never agree. | 108 |
| Marlee Matlin | There are many deaf people who couldn't imagine living in a marriage without someone who doesn't speak their language. For me, I believe that hearing or deaf is fine as long as both parties are willing to communicate in each other's language. But if there's no communication, then the marriage, I believe, will be difficult if not doomed. | 108 |
| Robert Anton Wilson | A monopoly on the means of communication may define a ruling elite more precisely than the celebrated Marxian formula of monopoly in the means of production. | 108 |
| Douglas Alexander | Obama better understood community organisation and peer-to-peer communication than any recent candidate, and we are applying that lesson. | 108 |
| Michael Tilson Thomas | But if I can be convinced and then through the work that we do together, the orchestra can really be convinced of the big sweep of that communication that the piece suggests, then the audience will get it and it will be a good experience for all of us. | 108 |
| Dan Pallotta | You used to be able to just call people. You didn't have to be on someone's calendar to have a phone conversation. The telephone was an important and valuable domain of communication, both for casual, friendly chats and for professional exchanges of ideas and information. But no more. | 108 |
| Lucas Till | I hate the amount of communication, the obligation that you have just by owning a phone. | 108 |
| Sheila E. | The break down for kids is communication. Music helps bring that bond. | 108 |
| William Friedkin | The first work of the director is to set a mood so that the actor's work can take place, so that the actor can create. And in order to do that, you have to communicate, communicate with the actors. And direction is about communication on all levels. | 108 |
| Billy Childish | People could live very happily without the Turner Prize, but they could not live without real communication and emotion. | 108 |
| Elizabeth Jagger | I don't tweet. I prefer face-to-face communication and sometimes Instagram. | 108 |
| Jim Rash | I think there's a fear of disconnect sometimes; communication is a huge issue for all of us, from adults to kids, as far as our face-to-face time and our ability to interact with each other without isolating itself to a phone. I think that has to be something that's very challenging. | 108 |
| Jason Schwartzman | There's all these ways to instantly communicate - cars, computers, telephone and transportation - and even with all that, it's so hard to find people and have an honest communication with them. | 108 |
| Ray Tomlinson | If you're looking for ways of getting quick communication, maybe texting is the way to go. People can't walk these days without having one hand balancing a smart phone. If that's the way people are going to live, it is the case that something that vibrates in their hand is going to get their attention more quickly than an email. | 108 |
| Ashraf Barhom | The two cultures of East and West are very different, and the priorities are very different. So when you understand that - if you are from this side or this side - when you understand that the other is different than you, and you respect these differences, you can build communication. | 108 |
| Justin Rosenstein | If you look at the history of communication, new technologies like the phone and e-mail didn't just let people do things faster; it fundamentally changed the scope of the kinds of projects people dared to take on. | 108 |
| Charles Dickens | Electric communication will never be a substitute for the face of someone who with their soul encourages another person to be brave and true. | 109 |
| Calvin Coolidge | I have noticed that nothing I never said ever did me any harm. | 109 |
| Benjamin F. Wade | I do not pretend to know precisely what is on foot there; but I think it pretty evident that there is a very free communication between that country and this body, and unless I am greatly mistaken, I see the dwarfish medium by which that communication is kept up. | 109 |
| Bertolt Brecht | Society cannot share a common communication system so long as it is split into warring factions. | 109 |
| Ira Sachs | Suspense films are often based on communication problems, and that affects all of the plot points. It almost gives it kind of a fable feeling. | 109 |
| Oona Chaplin | My grandmother died in 1991 and I was born in '86. We only met once, but I didn't speak English and she didn't speak Spanish - so we had a communication problem. | 109 |
| Seth Godin | I find that I have about six bloggable ideas a day. I also find that writing twice as long a post doesn't increase communication, it usually decreases it. And finally, I found that people get antsy if there are unread posts in their queue. | 109 |
| Vincent Nichols | I think there's a worry that an excessive use or an almost exclusive use of text and emails means that as a society we're losing some of the ability to build interpersonal communication that's necessary for living together and building a community. | 109 |
| Eli Pariser | The important thing to remember with the Internet is that there are large companies that have an interest in controlling how information flows in it. They're very effective at lobbying Congress, and that pattern has locked down other communication media in the past. And it will happen again unless we do something about it. | 109 |
| Fernando Flores | I never told a victim story about my imprisonment. Instead, I told a transformation story - about how prison changed my outlook, about how I saw that communication, truth, and trust are at the heart of power. | 109 |
| Leonard Mlodinow | One of the most surprising forms of nonverbal communication is the way we automatically adjust the amount of time we spend looking into another's eyes as a function of our relative social position. | 109 |
| Martin Rees | If we ever established contact with intelligent life on another world, there would be barriers to communication. First, they would be many light years away, so signals would take many years to reach them: there would be no scope for quick repartee. There might be an IQ gap. | 109 |
| David Horsey | I am no technophobe. I like being able to calibrate communication, depending on the situation - texting for the simple and immediate; email for business or when I want to put some lag time into the exchange; Twitter to promote something; Facebook to draw a crowd. | 109 |
| Judd Nelson | I love the rehearsal process in the theatre, and the visceral sense of contact and communication with a live audience. | 109 |
| Marianne Moore | If technique is of no interest to a writer, I doubt that the writer is an artist. | 109 |
| Marya Mannes | It is not enough to show people how to live better: there is a mandate for any group with enormous powers of communication to show people how to be better. | 109 |
| Mike Fitzpatrick | These sites have torn down the geographical divide that once prevented long distance social relationships from forming, allowing instant communication and connections to take place and a virtual second life to take hold for its users. | 109 |
| Richie Havens | Many times, people have come up to me after singing some songs, and they'd say, 'Richie, do you know what you did?' And I'd say, 'What?' And they'd go, 'I wrote these songs down for you to sing, and you sang them all in a row.' But that's the kind of communication that happens, you know. | 109 |
| Tony Goldwyn | My two daughters live on Facebook, and social media is their mode of communication. | 109 |
| Jan Chipchase | From my time at Nokia, I've seen the 99% positive and occasionally negative impact that communication tools can have on people. | 109 |
| Ruchi Sanghvi | Cove is essentially a collaboration, coordination and communication tool for the administration of organizations and communities, from the Stanford Graduate School of Business Entrepreneurship Club to church groups and schools. | 109 |
| Steven Price | A lot of the music editing job is communication and working out what a director really wants the music to be. | 109 |
| John Selden | Wise people say nothing in dangerous times. | 109 |
| Alan Greenspan | To succeed, you will soon learn, as I did, the importance of a solid foundation in the basics of education - literacy, both verbal and numerical, and communication skills. | 110 |
| Emmanuel Jal | Sometimes words are not needed, and the simplicity of expressing yourself through an art form is one of the best ways of communication. | 110 |
| Lewis Thomas | I won't compare ants and people, but ants give us a useful model of how single members of a community can become so organized that they end up resembling, in effect, one big collective brain. Our own exploding population and communication technology are leading us that way. | 110 |
| Chip Conley | Whether we're conscious of it or not, our work and personal lives are made up of daily rituals, including when we eat our meals, how we shower or groom, or how we approach our daily descent into the digital world of email communication. | 110 |
| Evan Williams | Every major communication tool on the Internet has spam and abuse problems. All email services, blogging services and social networks have to dedicate a significant amount of resources and time to fighting abuse and protecting their users. | 110 |
| John Dryden | Words are but pictures of our thoughts. | 110 |
| Laurie Helgoe | America is a noisy culture, unlike, say, Finland, which values silence. Individualism, dominant in the U.S. and Germany, promotes the direct, fast-paced style of communication associated with extraversion. Collectivistic societies, such as those in East Asia, value privacy and restraint, qualities more characteristic of introverts. | 110 |
| Patrick J. Kennedy | On the other hand, the American public possesses a great resilience and strength, and good risk communication strategies can tap into and even amplify those assets. | 110 |
| Robert M. Hutchins | A world community can exist only with world communication, which means something more than extensive short-wave facilities scattered; about the globe. It means common understanding, a common tradition, common ideas, and common ideals. | 110 |
| Sarah McLachlan | I spent a lot of years on the road, and what happens is you find out who your real friends are and you find out where your strengths and weaknesses lie in communication. I've had the same friends for 20 years now and I can count them on one hand. | 110 |
| Gerhard Richter | Without form, communication stops... without form, you have everybody burbling on to themselves, whenever and however, things that no one else can understand and - rightly - no one else is interested in. | 110 |
| Li Shufu | Product investment, quality management, and all the things that are key for a car company - great, there has been no compromise in those aspects. But I feel there's a lot we could do on communication, particularly from a Chinese perspective. | 110 |
| Penelope Keith | In this great age of communication, there a lot of people you can't actually understand. I know everyone tweets, and twits and texts and all that, but actually we've all got voices, and it is awfully nice to hear them and if you can understand what people are saying. | 110 |
| Derek Blasberg | I use a Blackberry. I'm so behind on mobile communication technology, I think a smartwatch may be too far a leap. | 110 |
| Voltaire | To hold a pen is to be at war. | 111 |
| Homer | Words empty as the wind are best left unsaid. | 111 |
| Joel Osteen | You can change your world by changing your words... Remember, death and life are in the power of the tongue. | 111 |
| Benjamin E. Mays | If what is communicated is false, it can hardly be called communication. | 111 |
| Don Miguel Ruiz | Listen to other people tell their story, but don't believe them. You know that it's just a story that is only true for them, but listen because the communication can be wonderful. | 111 |
| Kelly Miller | The eventual place the American army should take on the western front was to a large extent influenced by the vital question of communication and supply. | 111 |
| Omar Bongo | I am in favor of complete freedom of information and of free access to the new communication tools, in particular the Internet. | 111 |
| Hubert Burda | The way communication works is changing. | 111 |
| Joseph Brodsky | For a writer only one form of patriotism exists: his attitude toward language. | 111 |
| Kevin J. Anderson | I'm talking to you and it's basically a direct communication, whereas if I'm writing a letter to you and you read the letter, there are like 12 extra deconstruction and reconstruction steps in the communication. | 111 |
| Carmen Dell'Orefice | I understood that synergistic dance between photographer and object - 'muse,' if you will, 'model,' whatever you call us. It's that silent language of communication, like being psychic with each other. | 111 |
| Lesley Gore | You know, Quincy Jones was a great mentor, but he was a man in a man's world. Fortunately he's a very sensitive man and a beautiful human being, and even though he was 14 or 15 years older than me, he's a capable human being and has great communication skills. | 111 |
| Preet Bharara | Significant officials at publicly traded companies are casually and cavalierly engaged in insider trading. Because insider trading has as one of its elements communication, it doesn't take rocket science to realize it's nice to have the communication on tape. | 111 |
| Jason Aaron | There's a high level of communication between all of us at Marvel, and between Marvel and Lucasfilm. | 111 |
| Roustam Tariko | What I'm primarily responsible for is products. Everything is developed with my personal involvement. Second is client communication. Everything to do with product and consumer is my primary focus. I also deal with everything which relates to investment and partnership. Distribution, finance, administration, I don't do. | 111 |
| Alva Myrdal | The inventions and the great discoveries have opened up whole continents to reciprocal communication and interchange, provided we are willing. | 111 |
| Jan Koum | Communication is at the very core of our society. That's what makes us human. | 111 |
| Joe Slovo | Eventually, it is found out but it takes time especially in the conditions when communication is difficult, when the enemy is making it extremely awkward for information to come out, to go. | 111 |
| Jesse James Garrett | But despite the universality of URLs, we often forget that they're not just a handy way to address network resources. They're also valuable communication tools. | 111 |
| Bill Gates | I'm a great believer that any tool that enhances communication has profound effects in terms of how people can learn from each other, and how they can achieve the kind of freedoms that they're interested in. | 112 |
| Isaac Asimov | Writing, to me, is simply thinking through my fingers. | 112 |
| William Wordsworth | Fill your paper with the breathings of your heart. | 112 |
| Horace | The pen is the tongue of the mind. | 112 |
| Naomi Judd | It's so important for those living with chronic pain to establish good communication with both their healthcare professionals and caregivers. Clear communication about pain is vital to receiving proper diagnosis and effective treatment. | 112 |
| Yakov Smirnoff | Falling in love is a chemical reaction. But it wears off in a year. That's why you need a strong line of communication... which includes laughter. | 112 |
| Anthony Fauci | I enjoy very much communication. I think that scientists need to communicate. | 112 |
| Bat for Lashes | 'The Haunted Man' is about communication barriers between men and women, and in that song it's a woman's wait for her husband to come back from war. The vision for me was of a group of men and women on the opposite sides of two cliffs, trying to move or sing to each other and communicate, but they're kind of misfiring. | 112 |
| Evelyn Glennie | Music is about communication... it isn't just something that maybe physically sounds good or orally sounds interesting; it's something far, far deeper than that. | 112 |
| Tariq Ramadan | The world is a complex place, and the influence of the media in its representation and its power of communication and interpretation is a remarkable amplifier of emotions, and of illusions. | 112 |
| Aubrey de Grey | Wikipedia was a big help for science, especially science communication, and it shows no sign of diminishing in importance. | 112 |
| David Cronenberg | The filmmaking process is a very personal one to me, I mean it really is a personal kind of communication. It's not as though its a study of fear or any of that stuff. | 112 |
| Steven Bochco | Being a good television screenwriter requires an understanding of the way film accelerates the communication of words. | 112 |
| August Krogh | In the numerous observations made in my laboratory upon this object, we have only once seen a combination of vessels in which there might be a direct communication between a small artery and a vein, though the two observers could not come to a final conclusion on the point. | 112 |
| Isaac Bashevis Singer | The waste basket is the writer's best friend. | 113 |
| Alton Brown | I like television. I still believe that television is the most powerful form of communication on Earth - I just hate what is being done with it. | 113 |
| David Bohm | During the past few decades, modern technology, with radio, TV, air travel, and satellites, has woven a network of communication which puts each part of the world in to almost instant contact with all the other parts. | 113 |
| Emma Thompson | We need men and women to sit down and talk to each other about sex honestly and openly. That would help us fight Aids so immediately. But our lack of communication is hugely problematic. | 113 |
| L. Lionel Kendrick | May we treasure the divine gift of communication, and may we use it wisely to build and to assist others on this marvelous journey through mortality. | 113 |
| Marilyn vos Savant | Email, instant messaging, and cell phones give us fabulous communication ability, but because we live and work in our own little worlds, that communication is totally disorganized. | 113 |
| Charles Hazlewood | Music is about communication, and the chemistry between an audience and the orchestra is absolutely essential; the performance does not exist in a bubble. | 113 |
| Lee Child | I do a little fact checking now and then. Other than that its impact is simply that email has revolutionized communication for me, and my website has built up a community of readers, which is a lot of fun. | 113 |
| Nicolas Malebranche | God joins us together by means of the body, in consequence of the laws of the communication of movements. He affects us with the same feelings in consequence of the laws of the conjunction of body and soul. | 113 |
| Rita Mae Brown | Language exerts hidden power, like the moon on the tides. | 113 |
| Dave Sitek | I don't think that TV on the Radio is some dark mysterious band that no one can know about. We write music because it's an immediate form of communication. We're able to put on record what's happening in our times, and we want that message to be heard by the most amount of people. | 113 |
| Erin Gray | My mother and I always had full adult communication. | 113 |
| Susan Wojcicki | Today, most young women are exposed to technology at a very young age, with mobile phones, tablets, the Web or social media. They are much more proficient with technology than prior generations since they use it for all their school work, communication and entertainment. | 113 |
| Maggie Gyllenhaal | I think sex is very interesting for most people, but I'm interested in sex as a way of communication, I'm not that interested in the fantasy version of a sex scene. | 113 |
| Justin Rosenstein | Know when to email vs. when to meet. Logistics are best handled over a non-immediate communication channel like email or Asana tasks. Detailed status meetings will suck the life out of your day. | 113 |
| Jarrett J. Krosoczka | My mother was a very talented artist. When she was in jail, we'd write letters back and forth; that was pretty much the only form of communication we had. | 113 |
| Thich Nhat Hanh | You carry Mother Earth within you. She is not outside of you. Mother Earth is not just your environment. In that insight of inter-being, it is possible to have real communication with the Earth, which is the highest form of prayer. | 114 |
| Baltasar Gracian | He that communicates his secret to another makes himself that other's slave. | 114 |
| Frank Luntz | Republicans use think tanks to come up with a lot of their messages. The think tanks are the single worst, most undisciplined example of communication I've ever seen. | 114 |
| Laura Linney | I believe that no matter what you do in life, if you learn the basics through theater, it will help you in everything else - problem solving, communication, discipline, all of that stuff. | 114 |
| Larry Page | I have always believed that technology should do the hard work - discovery, organization, communication - so users can do what makes them happiest: living and loving, not messing with annoying computers! That means making our products work together seamlessly. | 114 |
| Lee Scott | People aren't going to talk about it except me and that is communication and the visits I have personally had in our meetings with our store managers saying if you do these things you will be terminated, period. | 114 |
| Thor Heyerdahl | Civilization grew in the beginning from the minute that we had communication - particularly communication by sea that enabled people to get inspiration and ideas from each other and to exchange basic raw materials. | 114 |
| Vint Cerf | The post office doesn't guarantee delivery, but it tries really hard. It's called best efforts communication. If you put two postcards in the post-box, they don't necessarily come out then in the same order that you put them in. So, that means that there's potentially disorder with your delivery, and that's also true in the Internet. | 114 |
| Adam Driver | If there's one organization in the United States that could work on its communication skills, it's the military. | 114 |
| Elise Andrew | Sometimes I worry that science communication is just preaching to the choir, speaking to the converted. Social media gives us an amazing opportunity to reach new people. | 114 |
| Gbenga Akinnagbe | I'm a very physical person. I'm very tactile. I wrestled in college, so a lot of my communication with the world comes through physicality - what I take in and what I put out there. | 114 |
| Stewart Butterfield | There are a lot of things that Slack gives you that email doesn't when you think about internal use. Switching to Slack from email for internal communication gives you a lot more transparency. | 114 |
| Jacques Barzun | It seems a long time since the morning mail could be called correspondence. | 114 |
| Mac Davis | I didn't have a lot of communication with Elvis. You had to go through a barricade to get to Elvis. It was people hanging on every word, and I felt very uncomfortable a lot of times. | 114 |
| John Drinkwater | Poetry is the communication through words of certain experiences that can be communicated in no other way. | 114 |
| Jim Rohn | Take advantage of every opportunity to practice your communication skills so that when important occasions arise, you will have the gift, the style, the sharpness, the clarity, and the emotions to affect other people. | 115 |
| Corazon Aquino | One must be frank to be relevant. | 115 |
| David Gilmour | I think a guitar solo is how my emotion is most freely released, because verbal articulation isn't my strongest communication strength. My wife thinks that I should do interviews by listening to the questions and playing the answer on guitar. | 115 |
| Frank Luntz | Ideology and communication more often than not run into each other rather than complement each other. Principle and communication work together. Ideology and communication often work apart. | 115 |
| Howard Nemerov | Language cares. | 115 |
| Julia Roberts | Making movies is not rocket science. It's about relationships and communication and strangers coming together to see if they can get along harmoniously, productively, and creatively. That's a challenge. When it works, it's fantastic and will lift you up. When it doesn't work, it's almost just as fascinating. | 115 |
| L. Lionel Kendrick | To pray is to have a conversation with Deity. This sacred and supernal communication with Heavenly Father is a divine and delicate process. This crucial communication should be conducted with great care and in compliance with sacred counsel. | 115 |
| Simone Weil | Two prisoners whose cells adjoin communicate with each other by knocking on the wall. The wall is the thing which separates them but is also their means of communication. It is the same with us and God. Every separation is a link. | 115 |
| Ethan Zuckerman | A common language is a first step towards communication across cultural boundaries. | 115 |
| Hubert Burda | A communication highway without content is inconceivable. | 115 |
| Jack Dorsey | Twitter was around communication and visualizing what was happening in the world in real-time. Square was allowing everyone to accept the form of payment people have in their pocket today, which is a credit card. | 115 |
| Jessamyn West | There are two barriers that often prevent communication between the young and their elders. The first is middle-aged forgetfulness of the fact that they themselves are no longer young. The second is youthful ignorance of the fact that the middle aged are still alive. | 115 |
| Leonard Mlodinow | Nonverbal communication forms a social language that is in many ways richer and more fundamental than our words. | 115 |
| May Sarton | Most people have to talk so they won't hear. | 115 |
| Jeanette Winterson | I believe in communication; books communicate ideas and make bridges between people. | 115 |
| Carol Berg | Writing is communication, and you don't know how you're doing until you put it in front of someone else's eyes. You also learn from critiquing other writers' work. | 115 |
| Stephen Covey | It's a fact that more people watch television and get their information that way than read books. I find new technology and new ways of communication very exciting and would like to do more in this field. | 116 |
| Charles Kuralt | I believe that writing is derivative. I think good writing comes from good reading. | 116 |
| Christopher Morley | There is only one rule for being a good talker - learn to listen. | 116 |
| Rodney Frelinghuysen | There's been nobody who stays in more communication and listens to veterans more than I do. | 116 |
| Adam Driver | For me, becoming a man had a lot to do with learning communication, and I learned about that by acting. | 116 |
| Barry Eisler | The National Surveillance State doesn't want anyone to be able to communicate without the authorities being able to monitor that communication. | 116 |
| Brendan Iribe | Seeing other people is incredibly engaging, and that's one of the drivers that made us partner with Facebook - social communication. Not social newsfeeds, but actual face-to-face, seeing multiple avatars in a play experience, that's going to be a very big part of the future in VR. | 116 |
| Don DeLillo | I slept for four years. I didn't study much of anything. I majored in something called communication arts. | 116 |
| Ethan Zuckerman | Teenagers try to hide what's really going on in their communication online. | 116 |
| Gal Gadot | All my life, I've been working with male directors, which I've really enjoyed. And I'm lucky in that I've worked with men who have a lot of respect for women. But working with a woman is a different experience. It feels like the communication is different. | 116 |
| Robbie Robertson | It's extraordinary that revolutions taking place around the world were sparked by communication on the Internet. | 116 |
| Whitfield Diffie | The decisions we make about communication security today will determine the kind of society we live in tomorrow. | 116 |
| Aaron Koblin | What's clear - and exciting - is that communication for social change is growing. | 116 |
| Dick Gephardt | Democracy is interactive... It's a constant job of information, education, explanation, listening, and interactive communication. | 116 |
| George Allen | It is vital that the United States maintains open lines of communication with our allies. We must assure them of our commitment to eradicating global terrorism wherever it may reside or wherever it's given haven. | 116 |
| Robert Darnton | As a graduate student at Oxford in 1963, I began writing about books in revolutionary France, helping to found the discipline of book history. I was in my academic corner writing about Enlightenment ideals when the Internet exploded the world of academic communication in the 1990s. | 116 |
| Jean-Francois Lyotard | On the other hand, in a society whose communication component is becoming more prominent day by day, both as a reality and as an issue, it is clear that language assumes a new importance. | 116 |
| Alan Lightman | I've taken a philosophical position on e-mail. Although I think it's a wonderful communication technology, and it has a lot of good uses, it is abused quite a lot. | 116 |
| John Hench | Walt put everything he knew about communication with images into the park, so it was very familiar. | 116 |
| Samuel Johnson | Words are but the signs of ideas. | 117 |
| Truman Capote | I believe more in the scissors than I do in the pencil. | 117 |
| Erno Rubik | In my teaching, I enjoyed creating models to clearly communicate my thoughts. | 118 |
| P. J. Harvey | I didn't know folk music growing up, no. It's something I've come to study, really, because I think there's so much to learn from traditional music in the sense of the way music began as a way of communication, the traveling storyteller, the bard, the minstrels. | 118 |
| Sean Combs | Music is the most powerful form of communication in the world. It brings us all together. Even religion separates us, but a hit record unites us across religious beliefs, race, politics. | 118 |
| Stephen Sondheim | I'm interested in the theater because I'm interested in communication with audiences. Otherwise I would be in concert music. | 118 |
| Wendell Willkie | A good catchword can obscure analysis for fifty years. | 118 |
| Christopher Moore | As much as I encourage communication with my readers, I don't want reviews from them, simply because I don't need to be hamstrung in the middle of working on something. | 118 |
| Joyce Brothers | Listening, not imitation, may be the sincerest form of flattery. | 118 |
| Leonard Mlodinow | Scientists attach great importance to the human capacity for spoken language. But we also have a parallel track of nonverbal communication, which may reveal more than our carefully chosen words, and sometimes be at odds with them. | 118 |
| Michel de Montaigne | There is no pleasure to me without communication: there is not so much as a sprightly thought comes into my mind that it does not grieve me to have produced alone, and that I have no one to tell it to. | 119 |
| Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. | Speak clearly, if you speak at all; carve every word before you let it fall. | 119 |
| Conor Oberst | Art is essentially communication. It doesn't exist in a vacuum. That's why people make art, so other people can relate to it. | 119 |
| Douglas Conant | Most people that derail as leaders in the corporate world, it's not because they couldn't do the math and calculate return on investment properly. The issues are communication and understanding. All of what typically would've been called the 'soft stuff.' You have to be authentic. You have to be dialed into the soft stuff. | 119 |
| George Eliot | Blessed is the man, who having nothing to say, abstains from giving wordy evidence of the fact. | 120 |
| Chuck Schumer | Reclassification is the best way to for us to preserve the Internet as an unfettered tool for communication and the sharing of ideas. | 120 |
| Kenny G | What is music anyway? It's a form of communication, and that's why I play the kind of music that I think - that I hope - can communicate with people. | 120 |
| Richard Louv | Mothers tend to be more direct. Fathers talk to other fathers about their kids more metaphorically. It's a different way of communication. | 120 |
| William Ellery Channing | The mind, in proportion as it is cut off from free communication with nature, with revelation, with God, with itself, loses its life, just as the body droops when debarred from the air and the cheering light from heaven. | 120 |
| Amos Bronson Alcott | Who speaks to the instincts speaks to the deepest in mankind, and finds the readiest response. | 120 |
| Matthew Arnold | Journalism is literature in a hurry. | 120 |
| Rebecca West | Writing has nothing to do with communication between person and person, only with communication between different parts of a person's mind. | 120 |
| Kimberly Schlapman | It's so important in marriage to let the little things go and let the pride go. Forgiveness is so important, and communication. Don't major on the minors. | 120 |
| Tsai Ing-wen | A more consistent and sustainable relationship with China will be a core goal of my administration. That requires open channels of communication, both with China's leadership and the Taiwanese people. | 120 |
| John M. McHugh | Unlike then, the mail stream of today has diminished by such things as e-mails and faxes and cell phones and text messages, largely electronic means of communication that replace mail. | 120 |
| Buddha | Whatever words we utter should be chosen with care for people will hear them and be influenced by them for good or ill. | 121 |
| Victoria Osteen | We try to keep a good line of communication open with our children. It's not always about trying to just teach them every moment, but it's about listening to them and trying to understand them and gain that sense of communication so when they need to talk to someone, they know that we're there. | 121 |
| Ben Horowitz | With communication technology in general, there's a kind of certain critical mass of people. Once you get to 15% of the world's entire population using one communication technology, that's a big deal. It's beyond the theoretical at this point. The people who think it's a fad have probably not been paying that much attention. | 121 |
| Caroline Knapp | Around the time I began starving, in the early eighties, the visual image had begun to supplant text as culture's primary mode of communication, a radical change because images work so differently than words: They're immediate, they hit you at levels way beneath intellect, they come fast and furious. | 121 |
| Guy Fieri | My stay-married secret would probably be exercising good communication, not when you have to but all the time. I think if you do that, you kinda just cleanse the situations, so there's not build up. I think that's probably the best way to do it. | 121 |
| Harold Pinter | Good writing excites me, and makes life worth living. | 121 |
| Irene Rosenfeld | Even in developing markets, we're seeing the growth of digital communication is proceeding at a very rapid pace. | 121 |
| Robert Delaunay | This communication alone, by the comparison of the antagonisms, rivalries, movements which give birth to decisive moments, permits the evolution of the soul, whereby a man realizes himself on earth. It is impossible to be concerned with anything else in art. | 121 |
| A. J. McLean | Communication is so much better when people are vulnerable. | 121 |
| Dick Costolo | The way you build trust with your team is around super-clear communication in that instant when they say, 'I will be sad if you don't do X.' You have to say, 'We're not going to do X, and here's why, and believe me, you'll be much sadder later if I let you go do it and you spend a bunch of time on it and nothing ever happens.' | 121 |
| Guy Pearce | The thing I've come to learn is that what's great about small independent films is the intimacy and the communication that occurs when you're making them. | 121 |
| Philip Hammond | When ministers in this government talk about investing in education and skills, about making the planning system work; about employment law reform and delivering transport and power generation and broadband communication infrastructure, we are talking about raising Britain's productivity. | 121 |
| James Blunt | In a way song writing can almost be detrimental, because suddenly you find an outlet that is a kind of cheating. You don't need to have direct communication. You can say, 'I can't describe it to you, but I will record it and send it to you.' | 121 |
| Randa Abdel-Fattah | I wasn't rebellious. Other friends had far stricter parents and where there wasn't a relationship of respect and communication, they were usually the opposite; kids go to the other extreme. | 121 |
| Noam Chomsky | The major advances in speed of communication and ability to interact took place more than a century ago. The shift from sailing ships to telegraph was far more radical than that from telephone to email! | 122 |
| Desiderius Erasmus | The desire to write grows with writing. | 122 |
| Karl Kraus | A writer is someone who can make a riddle out of an answer. | 122 |
| Phil Anselmo | Communication between band-mates is imperative. Communication is the key to any healthy relationship. If I need to be checked, I expect to hear it put in plain words what my faults are, and give my band-mates the ultimate consideration by shutting up and listening, then acting on the advice given. Same goes for anyone else in any band. | 122 |
| Rowan Williams | To conclude: good journalism is one of the models of good conversation and communication in the wider social context. | 122 |
| Esha Gupta | I never even wanted to be an actress. I studied mass communication and wanted to study law in Newcastle, for which I even got a scholarship. But by then, I had started modelling. So, I took a year off to decide what to do. But once you are used to working, it's difficult to get back to studies. | 122 |
| Richard Thompson | The thing I do, really, is a communication with audiences more than any achievement through records. | 122 |
| Sam Altman | Communication services need interoperability to succeed - and Loopt is the first such service since SMS that is available across all major U.S. wireless carriers. | 122 |
| Sidonie Gabrielle Colette | Writing only leads to more writing. | 122 |
| Thomas Kinkade | A painting has a lot of advantages over other forms of communication. Unlike a movie, you don't have to put it into a machine and turn it on. It's just there every day. It's not limited by the element of time. It's a constant part of the home. | 122 |
| Al Jarreau | What I try to get beyond is playing music at people and, instead, to play music with people because audience members are constantly part of the experience. What they say in their body language, what they say in their eyes, what they sing with me... it's an 'us,' and there's a communication that's like... it's like church, man. | 122 |
| Dan O'Brien | When first starting to work with someone you try to get them in the same mindset that you were in when you were successful, and I realized the best thing you can ever do is realize that they are not you. They have a different persona and mindset, and you have to figure out what works best within your communication with that athlete. | 122 |
| Eugenio Montale | Mass communication, radio, and especially television, have attempted, not without success, to annihilate every possibility of solitude and reflection. | 122 |
| David Lloyd | Every single means of communication amongst the public, the government has antennae into, to find out who is liable to be sympathetic and who is not liable to be sympathetic, and I think this has probably been going on since all channels of communication began. | 122 |
| Rory MacLean | The process of communication with the afterlife - more of an exchange than a conversation - has always fascinated me. | 122 |
| William Shakespeare | Brevity is the soul of wit. | 123 |
| James E. Faust | Without question, we need to be informed of the happenings in the world. But modern communication brings into our homes a drowning cascade of the violence and misery of the worldwide human race. There comes a time when we need to find some peaceful spiritual renewal. | 123 |
| Nicolas Cage | I use technology for communication, but I don't have a Blackberry or an iPhone. I use an outdated cell phone, but I'm fine with it. | 123 |
| Jason Robert Brown | I don't want costumes and makeup between me and the audience - I want more direct communication. There's something for me about being honest on stage, and I'm at my most honest when I'm behind a piano. So I prefer my concert performances. | 123 |
| Michael Greger | A placebo-controlled, double-blind, randomised trial of boys with autism found that two to three servings of cruciferous vegetables a day improves social interaction, abnormal behaviour and verbal communication - within a matter of weeks. | 123 |
| Ramez Naam | Everything good and bad about technology would be magnified by implanting it deep in brains. Is the risk of brain-hacking outweighed by the societal benefits of faster, deeper communication, and the ability to augment our own intelligence? | 123 |
| Joshua Lederberg | I started on the use of the Internet for scientific communication. Our research group was one of the very first to make really systematic use of it as a way of managing research projects. | 123 |
| Ernest Hemingway | I learned never to empty the well of my writing, but always to stop when there was still something there in the deep part of the well, and let it refill at night from the springs that fed it. | 124 |
| Robert Frost | Half the world is composed of people who have something to say and can't, and the other half who have nothing to say and keep on saying it. | 124 |
| Alain de Botton | I feel that the great challenge of our time is the communication of ideas. | 124 |
| H. G. Wells | No passion in the world is equal to the passion to alter someone else's draft. | 124 |
| Vint Cerf | Commercialization of assets off the planet would mutually reinforce the growth of interplanetary communication. | 124 |
| Stephen Stills | Language is an inadequate form of communication. If you've picked up an instrument, it's because you don't feel you are communicating sufficiently. | 124 |
| Aaron Sorkin | It's populated by people who, by and large, have terrific communication skills. Every day is an extraordinary day. For me, it was just a great area for storytelling. | 125 |
| Ben Horowitz | As a company grows, communication becomes its biggest challenge. | 125 |
| Douglas Booth | Communication is important. | 125 |
| Ken Robinson | Very often, organizations are inflexible because there is too little communication between functions; they are too segregated. | 125 |
| Jack Kerouac | Write in recollection and amazement for yourself. | 126 |
| David Bohm | Yet, in spite of this world-wide system of linkages, there is, at this very moment, a general feeling that communication is breaking down everywhere, on an unparalleled scale. | 126 |
| Pearl S. Buck | Self-expression must pass into communication for its fulfillment. | 126 |
| William S. Burroughs | Silence is only frightening to people who are compulsively verbalizing. | 126 |
| Zachary Quinto | I find that communication as an actor and person is an important part of who I am. And I'm really drawn into the psychology of those dynamics. | 126 |
| George Lois | All the people who run agencies, all the important people in agencies have taken communication courses, marketing courses, advertising courses, and courses basically teach advertising as a science, and advertising is so far from a science it isn't even funny. Advertising is an art. | 126 |
| Gloria Estefan | I have a very open line of communication with both my children. | 126 |
| Louis MacNeice | I would admit that poetry is something more than mere communication and that if that 'something more' could be abstracted from the whole, it might well prove to be that which makes the whole a poem. | 126 |
| Jaron Lanier | Anonymous blog comments, vapid video pranks and lightweight mash-ups may seem trivial and harmless, but as a whole, this widespread practice of fragmentary, impersonal communication has demeaned personal interaction. | 126 |
| Mike Mills | Being a good Hans Haacke student, part of his influence on me is that there's no difference between a gallery show and a film - or even an ad and a T-shirt-in terms of cultural legitimacy. They're just different contexts in which to have some sort of communication. | 126 |
| Tony Campolo | The first reason for the preponderant influence of those Evangelicals who define themselves as advocates of Religious Right theological and political ideologies is that they have both the financial means and technological know-how to make widespread use of modern electronic forms of communication. | 201 |
| William Ralph Inge | Literature flourishes best when it is half a trade and half an art. | 201 |
| John Berger | A drawing is essentially a private work, related only to the artist's own needs; a 'finished' statue or canvas is essentially a public, presented work - related far more directly to the demands of communication. | 201 |
| F. Sionil Jose | Language as a communication tool is the primary element from which literature is created. Even in pre-literate societies, it exists as songs, riddles, or epics that are chanted. | 202 |
| Umberto Eco | Semiotics is a general theory of all existing languages... all forms of communication - visual, tactile, and so on... There is general semiotics, which is a philosophical approach to this field, and then there are many specific semiotics. | 202 |
| Biz Stone | My personal view about how people should use Twitter is less relevant than our goal to provide the infrastructure for a new kind of communication and then support the creativity that emerges. | 202 |
| Christian Lous Lange | Just as characteristic, perhaps, is the intellectual interdependence created through the development of the modern media of communication: post, telegraph, telephone, and popular press. | 202 |
| Groucho Marx | Quote me as saying I was mis-quoted. | 203 |
| Marcel Proust | A powerful idea communicates some of its strength to him who challenges it. | 203 |
| Charles Kennedy | Music and politics are in essence about communication. Without over-stretching the analogy I do feel a sense of rhythm is important in getting your message across. | 203 |
| Francis Chan | With my natural communication abilities, I could probably gather a crowd even without the Spirit. | 203 |
| Frank Luntz | The way you communicate an idea is different than the way you communicate a product. | 203 |
| Hill Harper | 'The Conversation' will hopefully touch on issues that will move people to want to strengthen communication and look to each other for solutions. | 203 |
| Karl Kraus | No ideas and the ability to express them - that's a journalist. | 203 |
| Kenny G | I mean, what is music anyway? It's a form of communication - at least for me it is. And that's why I play the kind of music that I think - that I hope - can communicate with people. | 203 |
| Richard Hayne | Quite frankly, the Urban brand organization became too siloed, with too little communication across functional areas. The great creativity that has been the hallmark of our success became stifled. | 203 |
| Hillary Clinton | I think we have to face the reality that in a society where there is a legitimate threat of terrorism, not being able to see one's face, not being able to have some sense of communication in that way, is for many societies a challenge. | 204 |
| Conor Oberst | Art is basically communication, and I think everyone who's a music lover has had that experience where a record or a recording has kept you company when no one else is around. And I think that is what I'm hoping that people get out of my music. | 204 |
| Jared Diamond | I've worked very hard in this book to keep the lines of communication open. I don't want to turn someone away from this information for partisan political reasons. | 204 |
| Matt Drudge | I follow my conscience - and this is upsetting to some people, but I maintain the conscience is going to be the only thing between us and communication in the future. | 204 |
| Mikko Hypponen | You should have mechanisms of communication, like faxes, which are obviously getting removed from offices because nobody uses them anymore. Faxes are great when e-mail doesn't work. I wouldn't be throwing them away. | 204 |
| Isaac Asimov | I am not a speed reader. I am a speed understander. | 205 |
| Jim Rohn | Effective communication is 20% what you know and 80% how you feel about what you know. | 205 |
| Pedro Almodovar | For there to be communication within a couple, it is enough for there to be only one person who communicates or who really wants to communicate. Even though a couple consists of two people, if one of the people in a couple puts all their effort into moving a couple along they will move along. | 205 |
| William Graham Sumner | The waste of capital, in proportion to the total capital, in this country between 1800 and 1850, in the attempts which were made to establish means of communication and transportation, was enormous. | 205 |
| Edgardo Osorio | Up until the 1960s, women would meet designers in their private ateliers, and together they would build a relationship and a wardrobe. Then, all of a sudden, designers disappeared into their own private bubble, and there was no communication. | 205 |
| John le Carre | I think, increasingly, despite what we are being told is an ever more open world of communication, there is a terrible alienation in the ordinary man between what he is being told and what he secretly believes. | 205 |
| Doug Aitken | We're moving into an era when things are dematerialised and much more holographic. Floating above the physical world and the geographic map, there's another landscape that's constantly changing - something like a cloud - of communication, information, exchange and commerce. | 205 |
| Marshall McLuhan | The medium is the message. | 206 |
| Evan Spiegel | We are not advertising ourselves as a secure platform. It's a communication platform. It's not our job to police the world or Snapchat of jerks. | 206 |
| Jamais Cascio | Nearly every communication method we invent eventually conveys unwanted commercial messages. | 206 |
| Epictetus | First learn the meaning of what you say, and then speak. | 207 |
| Harry S Truman | We shall never be able to remove suspicion and fear as potential causes of war until communication is permitted to flow, free and open, across international boundaries. | 207 |
| Saul Alinsky | If the real radical finds that having long hair sets up psychological barriers to communication and organization, he cuts his hair. If I were organizing in an orthodox Jewish community, I would not walk in there eating a ham sandwich unless I wanted to be rejected so I could have an excuse to cop out. | 207 |
| Frank Ocean | I feel like I was writing as I was learning to talk. Writing was always a go-to form of communication. And I knew I could sing from being in tune with the radio. | 208 |
| Thomas Carlyle | Be not a slave of words. | 208 |
| Bobby Jindal | As everyone in Louisiana knows, there was often no communication or coordination between the state and federal government in the aftermath of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. | 208 |
| Cheech Marin | Loyalty and communication are always rewarded in sports. | 208 |
| Iyanla Vanzant | I don't think there's such a thing as a selfish prayer. Prayer puts you in communication so you can talk about whatever you want to talk about. | 209 |
| Gustave Flaubert | The art of writing is the art of discovering what you believe. | 209 |
| Doug Ducey | Maintaining a positive working relationship with Mexico's leadership will also be crucial to increasing communication and trade. I plan to personally maintain those relationships. | 209 |
| James Comey | As a communication medium, social media is a critical tool for terror groups to exploit. | 209 |
| Lyndon B. Johnson | Our most tragic error may have been our inability to establish a rapport and a confidence with the press and television with the communication media. I don't think the press has understood me. | 210 |
| Andy Serkis | I understand why people went nuts for 'The Artist.' We use words so much, it's nice to be able to explore a different way of communication, to be able to express silently what someone - or something - is thinking or feeling. | 210 |
| Emma Thompson | And it's absolutely true that male sexual behaviour and female responses to male demands change a lot when they start communicating - and the levels of the communication that I've seen on the ground in very, very poor areas are so high and I think why don't we have that here? | 210 |
| Glenn Greenwald | Very few people use landline phones for much of anything. So when you talk about things like online chat and social media messages and emails, what you're really talking about is the full extent of human communication. | 210 |
| Henry Miller | The great work must inevitably be obscure, except to the very few, to those who like the author himself are initiated into the mysteries. Communication then is secondary: it is perpetuation which is important. For this only one good reader is necessary. | 210 |
| Yo-Yo Ma | The thing that I've always been slightly frustrated with, was that the idea of a CD is kind of confined to a material possession that you can put on a shelf. And the idea of music, for me, is always about both the communication and the sharing of content. And so the interactive part is missing. | 210 |
| Joshua Foer | No one who set out to design a form of communication would ever end up with anything like English, Mandarin, or any of the more than six thousand languages spoken today. | 210 |
| Shane Carruth | Any film that exists that is thorough, you can't give it to an audience of one and have that be effective communication. Communication involves an audience of many that have a conversation, put it through the ringer, filter it and then a sense of it coalesces. | 210 |
| Napoleon Bonaparte | The strong man is the one who is able to intercept at will the communication between the senses and the mind. | 211 |
| Henri Frederic Amiel | Pure truth cannot be assimilated by the crowd; it must be communicated by contagion. | 211 |
| Joseph Conrad | A word carries far, very far, deals destruction through time as the bullets go flying through space. | 211 |
| Logan Pearsall Smith | What I like in a good author is not what he says but what he whispers. | 211 |
| Tracy Morgan | People live too much of their lives on email or the Internet or text messages these days. We're losing all of our communication skills. | 211 |
| W. Somerset Maugham | Writing is the supreme solace. | 211 |
| James Comey | Unfortunately, changing forms of Internet communication are quickly outpacing laws and technology designed to allow for the lawful intercept of communication content. | 211 |
| Frank Ocean | I feel like I was writing as I was learning to talk. Writing was always a go to form of communication. | 212 |
| Thich Nhat Hanh | If you're a politician, you might want to learn the Buddhist way of negotiation. Restoring communication and bringing back reconciliation is clear and concrete in Buddhism. | 212 |
| Mark Zuckerberg | The thing that we are trying to do at facebook, is just help people connect and communicate more efficiently. | 212 |
| David A. Bednar | Revelation is communication from God to His children on the earth and one of the great blessings associated with the gift and constant companionship of the Holy Ghost. | 212 |
| Tom Cotton | The use of encrypted communication and data storage to shield terrorist coordination from intelligence and law-enforcement authorities is known as 'going dark.' | 212 |
| Ruben Blades | I really think that music itself, being one of the greatest possible vehicles for mass communication, should be probed to its extremes, to see how effective it can actually become, which is one of the reasons why I became also interested in presenting political points of view. | 212 |
| Ryan Holmes | Although social media is a relatively new form of communication, it has become the primary way retailers and customers are interfacing. | 212 |
| Fran Lebowitz | Polite conversation is rarely either. | 213 |
| Glenn Greenwald | It is true that the Internet can be used to disseminate falsehoods quickly, but it just as quickly roots them out and exposes them in a way that the traditional model of journalism and its closed, insular, one-way form of communication could never do. | 215 |
| Christian Slater | As I've gotten to know myself over the years, I realised I'm kind of a sweet, sensitive guy, a shy guy, and communication is not something I'm so good at. | 216 |
| Kenny G | Sure, I love people, and I want to communicate with people. I mean, what is music anyway? It's a form of communication - at least for me it is. And that's why I play the kind of music that I think - that I hope - can communicate with people. | 217 |
| Ashley Tisdale | Communication is so key. | 217 |
| Beeban Kidron | I am still cautiously hopeful about the potential of the Internet. But it seems that the greatest revolution in communication has been hijacked by commercial values. | 217 |
| George Lois | The 1960s was a heroic age in the history of the art of communication - the audacious movers and shakers of those times bear no resemblance to the cast of characters in 'Mad Men.' | 217 |
| John Berger | Propaganda requires a permanent network of communication so that it can systematically stifle reflection with emotive or utopian slogans. Its pace is usually fast. | 217 |
| Daniel Boulud | For me, good service is efficient and discreet; it's that critical balance. As soon as the client sits down, the communication flow has to start. Customers need to feel that the waiters are supervised - that there's a system in place. | 218 |
| Ryan Holmes | Social media is the most disruptive form of communication humankind has seen since the last disruptive form of communications, email. | 218 |
| Jarvis Cocker | I speak onstage to try to establish some method of communication. The songs are supposed to be a way of communicating. But speech and drinks and sometimes chocolates are also a way of communicating. | 218 |
| James Madison | A man has a property in his opinions and the free communication of them. | 220 |
| George Lucas | Storytelling is about two things; it's about character and plot. | 220 |
| Mark Ruffalo | It's a difficult undertaking. I've been married for four years and I see this movie as a cautionary tale about people who've gone deeply out of communication. | 220 |
| Jane Goodall | I thought my life was mapped out. Research, living in the forest, teaching and writing. But in '86 I went to a conference and realised the chimpanzees were disappearing. I had worldwide recognition and a gift of communication. I had to use them. | 221 |
| Pico Iyer | If we do away with semi-colons, parentheses and much else, we will lose all music, nuance and subtlety in communication - and end up shouting at one another in block capitals. | 221 |
| Evgeny Morozov | However revolutionary it may be, the Internet still hasn't altered the basic law of human communication: Being nice to your interlocutors is a good way to start any negotiations, particularly, when being hostile is an open invitation for a cyber-fight. | 222 |
| Martha Stewart | My daughter emails me. When your daughter starts to email you instead of talk to you... It's horrible. You cannot forget human communication. | 222 |
| Pico Iyer | Contractions, 'U' for 'you' and the like are wonderful to make communication brief and efficient - but we wouldn't want all our talk to be only brief and efficient. Taking pauses out of language would be like taking the net away from a tennis game. Where would all the fun go? | 222 |
| Steve Buscemi | Communication is the key, and it's one thing I had to learn-to talk to the actors. I was so involved with the visual and technical aspects that I would forget about the actors. | 222 |
| Wole Soyinka | But theater, because of its nature, both text, images, multimedia effects, has a wider base of communication with an audience. That's why I call it the most social of the various art forms. | 222 |
| Leonard Mlodinow | Touch is our most highly developed sense when we are born, and it remains a fundamental mode of communication throughout a baby's first year and an important influence throughout a person's life. | 222 |
| Walt Disney | Of all of our inventions for mass communication, pictures still speak the most universally understood language. | 224 |
| F. Scott Fitzgerald | Genius is the ability to put into effect what is on your mind. | 224 |
| Margaret Atwood | Communications technology changes possibilities for communication, but that doesn't mean it changes the inherited structure of the brain. So you may think that you're addicted to online reading, but as soon as it isn't available anymore, your brain will pretty immediately adjust to other forms of reading. It's a habit like all habits. | 224 |
| Douglas Alexander | What we are going to offer is not a one-way communication, but one-to-one communication. | 224 |
| Bo Bennett | Communication is about being effective, not always about being proper. | 225 |
| Marc Andreessen | And once you get instantaneous communication with everybody, you have economic activity that's far more advanced, far more liquid, far more distributed than ever before. | 225 |
| Mark Twain | It usually takes me more than three weeks to prepare a good impromptu speech. | 226 |
| T. S. Eliot | The communication of the dead is tongued with fire beyond the language of the living. | 226 |
| Robert Louis Stevenson | Man is a creature who lives not upon bread alone, but primarily by catchwords. | 226 |
| George Carlin | By and large, language is a tool for concealing the truth. | 301 |
| Neil deGrasse Tyson | If you get asteroids about a kilometer in size, those are large enough and carry enough energy into our system to disrupt transportation, communication, the food chains, and that can be a really bad day on Earth. | 301 |
| Marshall McLuhan | Societies have always been shaped more by the nature of the media by which men communicate than by the content of the communication. | 301 |
| Wole Soyinka | I grew up in an atmosphere where words were an integral part of culture. | 301 |
| Yoko Ono | People make music to get a reaction. Music is communication. | 301 |
| Walt Disney | Animation can explain whatever the mind of man can conceive. This facility makes it the most versatile and explicit means of communication yet devised for quick mass appreciation. | 303 |
| Epictetus | If you wish to be a writer, write. | 304 |
| Annie Leibovitz | There must be a reason why photographers are not very good at verbal communication. I think we get lazy. | 304 |
| Kevin Systrom | Just so everyone knows, we're not a photo-sharing company. I don't see photos on 'Instagram' as art. They're much more about communication. | 304 |
| Tariq Ramadan | Instantaneous and mass communication is the mother of mass naivety. Should we then lose hope? Is there any hope? But to lose hope is as dangerous as to nurture false hope. Where then can we find hope that is responsible? | 304 |
| Malala Yousafzai | The best way to solve problems and to fight against war is through dialogue. | 305 |
| John Oliver | If you work on a comedy show, your basic form of communication is teasing. That's generally how we speak to each other: you communicate the information between the lines of insulting sentences. | 306 |
| Michael Dirda | Throughout the European Middle Ages and Renaissance, Latin was the language of learning and international communication. But in the early modern period, it was gradually displaced by French. By the eighteenth century, all the world - or at least all of Europe - aspired to be Parisian. | 306 |
| Joseph B. Wirthlin | There are many reasons our prayers may lack power. Sometimes they become routine. Our prayers become hollow when we say similar words in similar ways over and over so often that the words become more of a recitation than a communication. | 307 |
| Novak Djokovic | I don't think there has been enough communication between the players and the tournaments. In one sense it's just as much the players' fault. Players talk between each other and in the locker room about things that can be improved and then when the time comes to talk and really do something about it they stop. | 307 |
| Winston Churchill | This report, by its very length, defends itself against the risk of being read. | 308 |
| George Bernard Shaw | Syllables govern the world. | 308 |
| Travis Bradberry | People often cover their mouths when lying. A hand on the mouth or even a touch of the lips shows you that they are lying because this unconscious body language represents a closing off of communication. | 310 |
| George Bernard Shaw | I often quote myself. It adds spice to my conversation. | 313 |
| Matisyahu | Vocal rest is awesome. It is like any kind of fast. Firstly, it is a purification of speech. It made me realize how not careful I am with the things I say. It also makes you find new ways of communication and new methods to connect with people. | 313 |
| Michel de Montaigne | No pleasure has any savor for me without communication. | 314 |
| Ben Horowitz | The key to high-quality communication is trust, and it's hard to trust somebody that you don't know. | 314 |
| Sylvester Stallone | I try to combine in my paintings cinematic feeling, emotional feeling, and sometimes actually writing on the page to combine all the different elements of communication. | 315 |
| Winston Churchill | If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack. | 316 |
| Victoria Osteen | Books are such a great way to spend time with your children, open lines of communication with your children, and just build that strong foundation. | 316 |
| Itzhak Perlman | I always find that there is a real communication between voice and violin. | 316 |
| Lao Tzu | Truthful words are not beautiful; beautiful words are not truthful. Good words are not persuasive; persuasive words are not good. | 317 |
| Rick Springfield | My wife and I have built trust with our children and have always had open communication. | 317 |
| Mark Zuckerberg | I think humans are just hard-wired to process people's faces and understand meaning and expression at such a more granular level than other types of communication. | 318 |
| Victoria Osteen | It is my desire to break the destructive generational cycle of illiteracy in the home by focusing on the children. Reading to your child has so much value as a parent because it opens the lines of communication. | 319 |
| Sebastian Thrun | Corporate America is drowning in meetings. To make one thing clear, I am not against communication. Quick one-on-ones can be extremely effective. I am talking about those hour-long recurring meetings, devoid of a clear agenda, and attended by many. I dread them. | 319 |
| John Mackey | In many companies, the person who talks the best usually gets the job. I got snowed by a few of those people over the years. I still think communication is important, but I don't think there's always a correlation between being a great communicator and other virtues that make for a great leader. | 319 |
| Richard M. Nixon | The press is the enemy. | 320 |
| Kevin Systrom | 'Instagram' is a media company. I think we're about visual media. I explain ourselves as a disruptive entertainment platform that enables communication through visual media. I don't think it's just photos. | 323 |
| Marsha Blackburn | If the expansion of a global legal regime for communication technologies gains traction, the effects to the global economy as well as our individual liberties will be severe. | 323 |
| Stephen Covey | In the last analysis, what we are communicates far more eloquently than anything we say or do. | 326 |
| Christian Louboutin | Strangely enough, I really think that shoes are a communication tool between people. | 326 |
| Salman Rushdie | Perhaps because my relationship with my father went through such a long, bumpy time, it's been very important for me to work to try to keep lines of communication open between my sons and myself to try to avoid my father's mistakes. At least if you're making mistakes, make different mistakes. | 401 |
| Samuel Butler | Oaths are but words, and words are but wind. | 401 |
| Ben Horowitz | It is very helpful to me, in my job, for people to know me better. A lot of that is, it's a communication job. | 402 |
| Daryl Hall | The late 20th century had just enough communication abilities to allow superstar-ness and communality to happen. It was a musical renaissance that rivals the visual one that happened in the 1400s. | 402 |
| Douglas Adams | Ever since Newton, we've done science by taking things apart to see how they work. What the computer enables us to do is to put things together to see how they work: we're now synthesized rather than analysed. I find one of the most enthralling aspects of computers is limitless communication. | 403 |
| Patti Smith | The new artists coming through were very materialistic and Hollywood, not so engaged in communication. | 403 |
| Elon Musk | I do love email. Wherever possible I try to communicate asynchronously. I'm really good at email. | 409 |
| Hill Harper | I think our biggest problem is lack of real, honest communication between black men and black women. A lot of men talk amongst men, and a lot of women speak amongst women. | 410 |
| Nancy Pelosi | I don't know any member of Congress who ever said, 'I'm satisfied with the communication that we have from the White House.' | 411 |
| Billy Corgan | One thing I've learned to appreciate as I've gotten a little older is direct forms of communication. | 418 |
| Vint Cerf | We all know the Internet didn't explode until it became a commercial enterprise. Space communication will probably have the same characteristic. | 418 |
| Paulo Coelho | Every day I try to be in communication with the universe in an unconscious way. | 419 |
| Vint Cerf | You should know that I've been hearing-impaired, not quite since birth, but I've been wearing hearing aids since I was 13, so I'm very conscious of the difficulty of voice communication. | 421 |
| Umberto Eco | Berlusconi is a genius in communication. Otherwise, he would never have become so rich. | 422 |
| Vint Cerf | Written communication is a tremendous help for me, and so when electronic mail was invented in '71, I got very excited about it, thinking well, gee, the deaf community could really use this, or the hard-of-hearing community as well. | 422 |
| Ron White | I think honest communication, no matter where it comes from, is positive for a relationship. | 424 |
| John McAfee | Private communication systems have been around since the beginning of human culture. | 508 |
| Ben Bernanke | Clear communication is always important in central banking, but it can be especially important when economic conditions call for further policy stimulus but the policy rate is already at its effective lower bound. | 510 |
| John Burroughs | Man takes root at his feet, and at best, he is no more than a potted plant in his house or carriage till he has established communication with the soil by the loving and magnetic touch of his soles to it. | 516 |
| Mark Twain | A man's character may be learned from the adjectives which he habitually uses in conversation. | 523 |
| William Godwin | In the graver and more sentimental communication of man and man, the head still bears the superior sway; in the unreserved intimacies of man and woman, the heart is ever uppermost. Feeling is the main thing, and judgment passes for little. | 601 |
| Richard Dawkins | I think the written word is probably the best medium of communication because you have time to reflect, you have time to choose your words, to get your sentences exactly right. Whereas when you're being interviewed, say, you have to talk on the fly, you have to improvise, you can change sentences around, and they're not exactly right. | 604 |
| Peter Jackson | The idea of an animated film is you always kind of get a little bit daunted by it as a filmmaker because it feels like a lot of your communication is going to be with computer artists, and you're going to have to kind of channel the movie through extra pairs of hands. | 607 |
| Douglas Coupland | I began doing writing projects and art and design projects to explore a new way of seeing Canada. Roots is one more way of continuing this exploration. I want to present a wide-open Canadian sense of color, adventure, communication and openness that defines our country. | 614 |
| Yoko Ono | I see so many activists... who are artists because they feel that they have the power of communication. | 619 |
| Tina Brown | Corporate communications will become a high-tech art, just as political communication is for Obama. | 625 |
| Mark Twain | Words are only painted fire; a look is the fire itself. | 801 |
| Yoko Ono | When I'm putting some communication out on Twitter or Facebook or Instagram, I think that it's helping me, my brain, you know, because it's always somehow stimulated by people who are sending things to me. And it works both ways. It's great. My brain is very happy about it. | 806 |
| Richard Dawkins | We are a unique ape. We have language. Other animals have systems of communication that fall far short of that. They don't have the same ability to communicate complicated conditionals and what-ifs and talk about things that are not present. | 918 |
| Maya Angelou | Writing and cookery are just two different means of communication. | 1009 |
| P. J. O'Rourke | I think that humor has become a principle means of communication among Americans about politics. | 1707 |
