“If you say it’s hot and I think it’s cold, I’m able to agree with your viewpoint that you think it’s hot. What have I lost? I’m simply acknowledging that you think it’s hot. This is not manipulation; it’s understanding. You didn’t ask me what I thought. All I did was agree with your reality without adding that I think it’s cold, which would only serve to make you wrong.”
― Grant Cardone, Sell or Be Sold: How to Get Your Way in Business and in Life

“What sets one Southern town apart from another, or from a Northern town or hamlet, or city high-rise? The answer must be the experience shared between the unknowing majority (it) and the knowing minority (you). All of childhood's unanswered questions must finally be passed back to the town and answered there. Heroes and bogey men, values and dislikes, are first encountered and labeled in that early environment. In later years they change faces, places and maybe races, tactics, intensities and goals, but beneath those penetrable masks they wear forever the stocking-capped faces of childhood.”
― Maya Angelou, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings
