Communication : (183) " As an actor, I have always felt, everything is available in the script. If there is anything you feel the script lacks, you can have a discussion with the director and point out those. " - Pankaj Kapur " As to Bell’s talking telegraph, it only creates interest in scientific circles… its commercial values will be limited. " - Elisha Gray " Despite all the technical improvements, it still boils down to a man or a woman and a microphone, playing music, sharing stories, talking about issues – communicating with an audience. " - Casey Kasem " So I rang up British Telecom, I said ‘I want to report a nuisance caller’, he said ‘Not you again’. " - Frank Carson " Corporate America is drowning in meetings. To make one thing clear, I am not against communication. Quick one-on-ones can be extremely effective. I am talking about those hour-long recurring meetings, devoid of a clear agenda, and attended by many. I dread them. " - Sebastian Thrun " If people are going to watch TV, let’s give them something coherent with actual dialogue. " - Craig T. Nelson " I’d really like to play a character who’s inarticulate. I always play people with language. It would be good to play a mute or a fool or a saint. " - Michael Emerson " A world community can exist only with world communication, which means something more than extensive short-wave facilities scattered; about the globe. It means common understanding, a common tradition, common ideas, and common ideals. " - Robert M. Hutchins " Human beings are social creatures. We are social not just in the trivial sense that we like company, and not just in the obvious sense that we each depend on others. We are social in a more elemental way: simply to exist as a normal human being requires interaction with other people. " - Atul Gawande " When people talk, they lay lines on each other, do a lot of role playing, sidestep, shilly-shally and engage in all manner of vagueness and innuendo. We do this and expect others to do it, yet at the same time we profess to long for the plain truth, for people to say what they mean, simple as that. Such hypocrisy is a human universal.
