The dialogue between client and architect is about as intimate as any conversation you can have, because when you're talking about building a house, you're talking about dreams.
Robert A. M. Stern
The difficulty with this conversation is that it's very different from most of the ones I've had of late. Which, as I explained, have mostly been with trees.
Douglas Adams
The dining room in my old house was truly magnificent, but by far the worst room for conversation. I'd get up from the table, a very long table, and somebody would always say, Paul, I never got to talk to you.
Paul Lynde
The first ingredient in conversation is truth, the next good sense, the third good humor, and the fourth wit.
William Temple
The great gift of conversation lies less in displaying it ourselves than in drawing it out of others. He who leaves your company pleased with himself and his own cleverness is perfectly well pleased with you.
Jean de la Bruyere
The happiest conversation is that of which nothing is distinctly remembered, but a general effect of pleasing impression.
Samuel Johnson
The most influential of all educational factors is the conversation in a child's home.
William Temple
The planned sit-down reception is an artificial forum where one is presented with a limited number of persons with whom he can hold a conversation.
Jerzy Kosinski
The primary use of conversation is to satisfy the impulse to talk.
George Santayana
The prisoners for better security against conversation shall have a canvas bag put over the head of each and tied around the neck, with a holes for proper breathing and eating, but not seeing.
Edwin M. Stanton
The reading of all good books is like a conversation with the finest minds of past centuries.
Rene Descartes
The reason why so few people are agreeable in conversation is that each is thinking more about what he intends to say than others are saying.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld
The trouble with her is that she lacks the power of conversation but not the power of speech.
George Bernard Shaw
The true spirit of conversation consists in building on another man's observation, not overturning it.
Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton
The voice will guide you-will tell you what to do. In order to do that, you must be quite sensitive with the instrument and accept this daily conversation with your voice.
Cecilia Bartoli
The way I write is that I'll actually have a conversation out loud with myself. In a weird way, I just kind of get schizophrenic and play two characters.
Zach Braff
There are those moments when you shake someone's hand, have a conversation with someone, and suddenly your all bound together because you share your humanity in one simple moment.
Ralph Fiennes
There are two things in ordinary conversation which ordinary people dislike - information and wit.
Stephen Leacock
There is no conversation more boring than the one where everybody agrees.
Michel de Montaigne
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.
Miroslav Vitous
