- Conversation is but carving!
- Give no more to every guest
- Than he's able to digest.
JONATHAN SWIFT, Conversation
We do not talk--we bludgeon one another with facts and theories gleaned from cursory readings of newpapers, magazines, and digests.
HENRY MILLER, "The Shadows," The Air-Conditioned Nightmare
The more the pleasures of the body fade away, the greater to me is the pleasure and charm of conversation.
