Famous quotes containing the words conversation and/or interviews:
“Great conversation ... requires an absolute running of two souls into one.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“What a perpetual disappointment is actual society, even of the virtuous and gifted! After interviews have been compassed with long foresight, we must be tormented presently by baffled blows, by sudden, unseasonable apathies, by epilepsies of wit and of animal spirits, in the heyday of friendship and thought. Our faculties do not play us true, and both parties are relieved by solitude.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
