Bruce Bryans
“If you want guys to take you seriously, you must get them to pick up the phone and call you.”
Bruce Bryans, Never Chase Men Again: 38 Dating Secrets to Get the Guy, Keep Him Interested, and Prevent Dead-End Relationships

Henry Marsh
“Patients become objects of fear as well as of sympathy. It is much easier to feel compassion for other people if you are not responsible for what happens to them”
Henry Marsh, Do No Harm: Stories of Life, Death and Brain Surgery

Henry Marsh
“It was miserable work, with little reward, and I learned much about the limitations of human kindness, and in particular my own.”
Henry Marsh, Do No Harm Stories of Life Death and Brain Surgery / Admissions: A Life in Brain Surgery / Dear Life A Doctors Story of Love and Loss / Quick Reads This Is Going To Hurt

Kate   Murphy
“Listening can continue even when you are no longer in the presence of the speaker as you reflect on what the person said and gain added insight. This is not to recommend obsessive rumination or picking apart conversations, which psychiatrist Zerbe said usually has more to do with insecurity than honest reflection. You know you’re doing this when you are spinning your wheels going over and over how you feel about something someone said instead of considering the feelings that drove the other person to say it.”
Kate Murphy, You're Not Listening: What You're Missing and Why It Matters

Kate   Murphy
“people in long-term relationships tend to lose their curiosity for each other. Not necessarily in an unkind way; they just become convinced they know each other better than they do. They don’t listen because they think they already know what the other person will say.”
Kate Murphy, You're Not Listening: What You're Missing and Why It Matters
