1 " On my website there's a quote from the writer Anthony Burgess: " The greatest gift is the passion for reading. It is cheap, it consoles, it distracts, it excites, it gives you knowledge of the world and experience of a wide kind." I've always found that inspiring because the written word, as an art form, is unlike any other: movies, TV, music, they're shared experiences, but books aren't like that. The relationship between a writer and a reader is utterly unique to those two individuals. The world that forms in your head as you read a book will be slightly different to that experienced by every other reader. Anywhere. Ever. Reading is very personal, a communication from one mind to another, something which can't be exactly copied, or replicated, or directly shared. If I read the work of, say, one of the great Victorian novelists, it's like a gift from the past, a momentary connection to another's thoughts. Their ideas are down on paper, to be picked up by me, over a century later. Writers can speak individually to readers across a year, or ten years, or a thousand. That's why I love books. "
2 " People suffering from insecurity and intellectual deficiency thrive on constant vilification rarely engaging in a communication based on sound reasoning. "
3 " Reading is that fruitful miracle of a communication in the midst of solitude. "
― Marcel Proust
4 " Prayer is a communication to a divine being. "
5 " Responding to a suicide attempt by insisting that it must stop, and devoting the full resources of therapy to preventing it, is a communication with compassion and care at its very core. "
― Marsha M. Linehan
6 " I love and enjoy writing.Writing is a form of daily communication.It a communication to higher divine power. "
7 " He (Kris Medlin) has a communication with a force in pitching that most of us can’t talk to. It’s an awareness; it’s a sixth sense. When he steps in and stares in to that catcher, that little man on his shoulder’s going to take over and tell him what to do. And he’s done it well. "
8 " Events like this don't give me the sense of oneness others seem to enjoy; it's always been private occasions that make me feel connected to the joys and sorrows of the world, often in the form of communion with writers and musicians I'll never meet in person. Proust called these moments of unity between writer and reader 'that fruitful miracle of a communication in the midst of solitude. "
― Susan Cain , Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking
9 " Conversation, to take another example, is one of the common pleasures of life, but not all conversation is pleasurable. The stutterer finds talking painful, and the listener is equally pained. Persons who are inhibited in expressing feeling are not good conversationalists. Nothing is more boring than to listen to a person talk in a monotone without feeling. We enjoy a conversation when there is a communication of feeling. We have pleasure in expressing our feelings, and we respond pleasurably to another person's expression of feeling. The voice, like the body, is a medium through which feeling flows, and when this flow occurs in an easy and rhythmic manner, it is a pleasure both to the speaker and listener. "
― Alexander Lowen , Pleasure
10 " Trade is a communication of cultures and values. "
11 " Strangely enough, I really think that shoes are a communication tool between people. "
12 " 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. "
13 " As a communication medium, social media is a critical tool for terror groups to exploit. "
14 " 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. "
15 " 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. "
16 " 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. "
17 " 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. "
18 " My theory on an existing crisis is that you have to be very strategic about each case's unique elements. If a crisis involves a legal component, you need a communication strategy that complements the company's legal objective. A strategy for a plea deal is different than a case going to trial. "
19 " 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. "
20 " The thing I do, really, is a communication with audiences more than any achievement through records. "
