  • Talking Quote #2

    -not only did he deplore the waste of words, he detested the moral lassitude with which they were wasted. To him, in whose throat the bone of displacement was forever stuck, it was wrong to talk about nothing when there was a perpetual shortage of words for all the horrible things that happened in the world. It was better to be silent than to say what didn't matter.

    Aleksandar Hemon
  • Talking Quote #3

    A book called Life of Silence would get everyone talking. I should write it, using invisible ink. Or to really make it see-through, I should hire a ghostwriter.

    Michael Bassey Johnson
  • Talking Quote #5

    A funny person is funny only for so long, but a wit can sit down and go on being spellbinding forever. One is not meant to laugh. One stays quiet and marvels. Spontaneously witty talk is without question the most fascinating entertainment there is.

    Diana Vreeland

    Neil Postman
  • Talking Quote #11

    An introvert talks more than an extrovert because when the mouth is closed, the mind is opened.

    Michael Bassey Johnson
  • Talking Quote #12

    Analyzing data from 79 men and women who wore inconspicuous devices that recorded some of their conversations over the course of four days, researchers from Washington University and the University of Arizona found a correlation between feelings of well-being and the amount of time spent talking every day. Moreover, the more substantive your conversations, the happier you're likely to be. In other words, heart-to-hearts trump small talk. (LA Times, A lof of happy talk, March 11, 2010, A21.)

    Meghan Daum
  • Talking Quote #13

    And then a scholar said, Speak of talking. And he answered, saying: And when you can no longer dwell in the solitude of your heart you live in your lips, and sound is a diversion and a pastime.

    Kahlil Gibran
  • Talking Quote #14

    Another segment of society that has constructed a language of its own is business. People in business say that toner cartridges are in short supply, that they have updated the next shipment of these cartridges, and that they will finalize their recommendations at the next meeting of the board. They are speaking a language familiar and dear to them. Its portentous nouns and verbs invest ordinary events with high adventure; executives walk among toner cartridges, caparisoned like knights. We should tolerate them--every person of spirit wants to ride a white horse.

    William Strunk Jr.
  • Talking Quote #15

    Anyone that says his mind will be probably regarded a fool, but the true artist is not moved by the comments about the looks of his painting or remarks that are dreadfully sarcastic, but hearken now! That he who says what others want to hear hasn't said anything of his own.

    Michael Bassey Johnson

    As grandma said, if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all

    A.J. Jacobs

    Jarod Kintz
  • Talking Quote #18

    Before I spoke with people, I did not think of all these things because there was no one to bother to think them for. Now things just come out of my mouth which are true.

    Bernard Pomerance
  • Talking Quote #19

    Before you talk to the world, talk to yourself. And, before you listen to the world, listen to yourself.

    Sharad Vivek Sagar
  • Talking Quote #20

    Bob Dylan
  • Talking Quote #21

    Being able to read well in public and talk about your work in an engaging fashion is part of most writers' job specification.

    Sara Sheridan
  • Talking Quote #22

    Betsy did not answer. She was a talker, her family always said, but sometimes when she most wanted to talk she couldn't say a word.

    Maud Hart Lovelace
  • Talking Quote #23

    Betsy liked to talk. Her father always said she got it from her mother, and her mother always said she got it from her father. But whomever she got it from she was certainly a talker.

  • Talking Quote #24

    But between the busy heads and over-reaching arms he could see Charley and Sylvia, sitting close together, talking and listening more than eating. She was in a new strange state of happiness not to be reasoned about, or accounted for, but in a state of more exquisite feeling than she had ever experienced before;

    Glenda Millard
  • Talking Quote #27

    But there is saying, and there is doing, and almost always people do something better than they can talk about it, as though the minded body defeats every attempt to select out only the mind part as deserving sole responsibility for the success.

    Alice Koller
