Palmer Luckey

I think the written word is probably the best medium of communication because you have time to reflect, you have time to choose your words, to get your sentences exactly right.

Words of comfort, skillfully administered, are the oldest therapy known to man. Louis Nizer

Be not a slave of words. Thomas Carlyle

Polite conversation is rarely either. Fran Lebowitz

We shall never be able to remove suspicion and fear as potential causes of war until communication is permitted to flow, free and open, across international boundaries. Harry S Truman

Writing is learning to say nothing, more cleverly each day. William Allingham

I don't want costumes and makeup between me and the audience - I want more direct communication. There's something for me about being honest on stage, and I'm at my most honest when I'm behind a piano. So I prefer my concert performances. Jason Robert Brown

Nonverbal communication forms a social language that is in many ways richer and more fundamental than our words. Leonard Mlodinow

Man takes root at his feet, and at best, he is no more than a potted plant in his house or carriage till he has established communication with the soil by the loving and magnetic touch of his soles to it. John Burroughs

I don't know any member of Congress who ever said, 'I'm satisfied with the communication that we have from the White House.' Nancy Pelosi

The difference between face-to-face conversation and any other medium of communication is simple: No distractions are permitted. Alexandra Petri

When first starting to work with someone you try to get them in the same mindset that you were in when you were successful, and I realized the best thing you can ever do is realize that they are not you. They have a different persona and mindset, and you have to figure out what works best within your communication with that athlete. Dan O'Brien

You don't have any communication between the Israelis and the Iranians. You have all sorts of local triggers for conflict. Having countries act on a hair trigger - where they can't afford to be second to strike - the potential for a miscalculation or a nuclear war through inadvertence is simply too high. Dennis Ross

I think people underrate the importance of investing in your communication skills as a way to progress in your career. Julie Sweet

What I'm primarily responsible for is products. Everything is developed with my personal involvement. Second is client communication. Everything to do with product and consumer is my primary focus.

Many times, people have come up to me after singing some songs, and they'd say, 'Richie, do you know what you did?' And I'd say, 'What?'

I think there's a fear of disconnect sometimes; communication is a huge issue for all of us, from adults to kids, as far as our face-to-face time and our ability to interact with each other without isolating itself to a phone. I think that has to be something that's very challenging. Jim Rash

If you judge everything by how photographically real it looks, then you're missing out on a lot of what art is about and what communication is. There are ambiguities in life, and that should be reflected in art, cinema, and storytelling, I think. Ben Wheatley

All poetry has to do is to make a strong communication. All the poet has to do is listen. The poet is not an important fellow. There will also be another poet. Stevie Smith

The disturbing truth about science communication is that we have theories and ways of delivering messages that really are like putting a candle to the dark, as Carl Sagan would say.

Same goes for anyone else in any band. Phil Anselmo

The Pavlovian view of women voters - 'plug the words in, and they will respond' - sends a chill down my spine because it sounds like an adaptation of something I have written about communication between the sexes: When a woman tells a man about a problem, she doesn't want him to fix it; she just wants him to listen and let her know he understands. Deborah Tannen

We live in a world of communication - everyone gets information about everyone else.

If I'm doing a show on Sunday at 7 P.M., that wouldn't be the same show that I'd do at 11 P.M. on a Saturday - it's a different room at a different time of day with different sensibilities.

No pleasure has any savor for me without communication. Michel de Montaigne

Making movies is not rocket science. It's about relationships and communication and strangers coming together to see if they can get along harmoniously, productively, and creatively.

The truly unique trait of 'Sapiens' is our ability to create and believe fiction. All other animals use their communication system to describe reality.

Yuval Noah Harari

Communication will bring understanding and understanding will cause harmonious mutual relationships which can establish peace and stability. Lobsang Tenzin

The thing I do, really, is a communication with audiences more than any achievement through records. Richard Thompson

Communications technology changes possibilities for communication, but that doesn't mean it changes the inherited structure of the brain.

Storytelling is about two things; it's about character and plot. George Lucas

It still amazes me how many musicians aren't really interested in engaging with their audience at all.

Science may never come up with a better office communication system than the coffee break. Earl Wilson

Words are singularly the most powerful force available to humanity. We can choose to use this force constructively with words of encouragement, or destructively using words of despair.

Victoria Osteen

Oaths are but words, and words are but wind. Samuel Butler

Amy Klobuchar

I am oblique; I think that has to do with my own nature.

Alan J. Pakula
