A conversation goes sometimes into
personal things and that's nicer.
You look to each other and you
have a different picture, you get
into a relationship.
--Maximilian
Schell – Swiss Actor Born 1930
A conversation is a dialogue, not
a monologue. That's why there are
so few good conversations: due to
scarcity, two intelligent talkers
seldom meet.
--Truman
Capote – American Novelist
1924-1984
A person isn't who they are during
the last conversation you had with
them - they're who they've been
throughout your whole
relationship.
--Rainer
Maria Rilke – German Poet
1875-1926
A single conversation across the
table with a wise man is better
than ten years mere study of
books.
--Henry
Wadsworth Longfellow – American
Poet 1807-1882
A sudden silence in the middle of
a conversation suddenly brings us
back to essentials: it reveals how
dearly we must pay for the
invention of speech.
--Emile
M. Cioran – Romanian Philosopher
1911-1995
After about 20 years of marriage,
I'm finally starting to scratch
the surface of what women want.
And I think the answer lies
somewhere between conversation and
chocolate.
--Mel
Gibson – Australian Actor Born

Anyone who thinks the art of
conversation is dead ought to tell
a child to go to bed.
--Robert

Body language is a very powerful
tool. We had body language before
we had speech, and apparently, 80%
of what you understand in a
conversation is read through the
body, not the words.
--Deborah
Bull – British Dancer Born 1963
Conceit causes more conversation
than wit.
--Francois
de La Rochefoucauld – French
Writer 1613-1680
Confidence contributes more to
conversation than wit.

de La Rochefoucauld – French
Writer 1613-1680
Conversation about the weather is
the last refuge of the
unimaginative.
--Oscar
Wilde – Irish Dramatist 1854-1900
Conversation enriches the
understanding, but solitude is the
school of genius.
--Edward
Gibbon – English Historian

Conversation like television set
on honeymoon... unnecessary.
--Peter
Sellers – British Actor 1925-1980
Conversation may be compared to a
lyre with seven chords -
philosophy, art, poetry, love,
scandal, and the weather.
--Anna
Jameson – British Writer 1794-1860
Conversation would be vastly
improved by the constant use of
four simple words: I do not know.
--Andre
Maurois – French Writer 1885-1967
Debate is the death of
conversation.
--Kitty
O'Neill Collins
Don't knock the weather;
nine-tenths of the people couldn't
start a conversation if it didn't
change once in a while.
--Kin
Hubbard – American Journalist
