“I should study Nature's laws in all their crossings and unions; I should follow magnetic streams to their source and follow the shores of our magnetic oceans. I should go among the rays of the aurora, and follow them to their beginnings, and study their dealings and communications with other powers and expressions of matter.” ShouldMatterLawNatureStudyExpressionCommunicationSourceTravelOceanUnionsStreamsWildernessShoreRaysCrossingsMagneticDealingsAurora Book:The Wilderness World of John Muir Source: The Wilderness World of John Muir
“We can no longer communicate with the apes by direct language, nor can we understand, without special study, their modes of communication which we have long since replaced by more elaborate forms. But it is at least presumable that they could still detect in our speech, at least when it is public and elaborate, the underlying tone values with which it began. Thus if we could take a gibbon ape to a college public lecture, he would not understand it, but he would "get a good deal of it." This is all the students get anyway.” IfsLongStillsFormValuesLanguageDealsStudySpecialStudentsCollegeCommunicationSpeechDirectCommunicateToneReplacedLecturesApes Book:Leacock on Life Source: Leacock on Life

“The extraordinary language of Nonviolent Communication is changing how parents relate to children, teachers to students, and how we all related to each other and even to ourselves. It is precise, disciplined, and enormously compassionate. Most important, once we study NVC we can't ignore the potential for transformation that lies in any difficult relationship - if we only bother to communicate with skill and empathy.” IfsChildrenImportantLyingLanguageParentDifficultStudyTeacherStudentsCommunicationSkillsEmpathyTransformationExtraordinaryCommunicateRelateBotherRelatedCompassionatePreciseNonviolent CommunicationTeacher StudentDifficult Relationship Author:Bernie Glassman
