Roy T. Bennett
Listen with curiosity. Speak with honesty. Act with integrity. The greatest problem with communication is we don’t listen to understand. We listen to reply. When we listen with curiosity, we don’t listen with the intent to reply. We listen for what’s behind the words.
Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart

Shannon Hale

Shannon Hale, The Goose Girl
