There is nothing so dangerous for anyone who has something to hide as conversation!
We talked together through that silence in the language of thought. Nothing is more rapturous than these mute conversations.[Nous nous entretînmes dans le silence par le langage de la pensée. Rien n’est plus ravissant que ces muettes conversations.]
The only reason why we ask other people how their weekend was is so we can tell them about our own weekend.
In the matter of repartees literary celebrities are often not as quick as women.[Au jeu des reparties, les célébrités littéraires ne sont pas toujours aussi fortes que les marquises.]
In conversation, points arise! If a human being converses much, it is impossible for him to avoid the truth!
