Den ideala konversationen måste vara ett utbyte av tankar, och inte, som många av dem som mest bekymrar sig om sina tillkortakommanden tror, en elegant uppvisning av snille eller vältalighet.

Ideal conversation must be an exchange of thought, and not, as many of those who worry most about their shortcomings believe, an eloquent exhibition of wit or oratory
