Quotes by P.M. Forni (?)

“When the healthy pursuit of self-interest and self-realization turns into self-absorption, other people can lose their intrinsic value in our eyes and become mere means to the fulfillment of our needs and desires.”
― P.M. Forni, The Civility Solution: What to Do When People Are Rude

tags: civility, narcissism, rudeness

“If we are kind and considerate, people will want to be around us, and we benefit from enduring circles of attention and care.”
― P. M. Forni, Choosing Civility

tags: kind-considerate

“Few things would gratify me as much as a rediscovered respect for things belonging to others. Not abusing the property of others (or that of the community) is one of the ways in which we respect others. It is an essential part of being considerate guests, no matter where we are: in an airplane, in a friend's home, in a movie theater, in a doctor's office, in a public library, or in a public square.”
― P.M. Forni, Choosing Civility
