Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
“I shall look at you out of the corner of my eye, and you will say nothing. Words are the source of misunderstandings.”
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

Jasun Ether
“A wise man doesn’t answer a multifaceted question with a ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ response alone. A one-word reply for an issue is a kindergarten response that has no value or meaning. Two people could basically feel the same way about an issue but still argue about it and possibly even come to hate each other because they settled on different one-word answers.”
Jasun Ether, The Beasts of Success
