Man is always looking for someone to boast to; woman is always looking for a shoulder to put her head on.
H. L. MenckenI think what we’ve found is that when you can use products with your friends and your family and the people you care about, they tend to be more engaging. I think that we’re really going to see this huge shift where a lot of industry is and products are just going to be remade to be social.
Mark ZuckerbergMen are by nature merely indifferent to one another; but women are by nature enemies.
Arthur SchopenhauerMaybe I should say that memory interests me a great deal, because I think we all tell stories of our lives to ourselves as well as to other people. Well, women do, anyway. Women do this a lot. And I think when men get older, they do this too, but maybe in slightly different terms.
Alice MunroI didn’t play with other children.
Karl LagerfeldIf I read a book that impresses me, I have to take myself firmly by the hand, before I mix with other people; otherwise they would think my mind rather queer.
Anne FrankEverybody likes a compliment.
Abraham LincolnMen always talk about the most important things to perfect strangers. In the perfect stranger we perceive man himself; the image of a God is not disguised by resemblances to an uncle or doubts of wisdom of a mustache.
Gilbert K. ChestertonCyberspace is – or can be – a good, friendly and egalitarian place to meet.
Douglas AdamsI think humans are just hard-wired to process people’s faces and understand meaning and expression at such a more granular level than other types of communication.
Mark ZuckerbergThe fact is that I find more most men are more open, more generous, and much more stimulating than the majority of females I know.
Marilyn MonroeWe are for the most part more lonely when we go abroad among men than when we stay in our chambers. A man thinking or working is always alone, let him be where he will.
Henry David ThoreauPeople are generally amazed that I would take an interest in any forum that would require me to stop talking for three hours.
Henry KissingerIf you can’t move and talk to people that you see, it’s not really my scene.
Stephen CurryIn the normal flow of a conversation, our attention is divided. We hear parts of what other people are saying, in order to follow and keep the conversation going. At the same time, we’re planning what we’ll say next, some exciting story of our own.
Robert GreeneI think it’s good for a woman to put on a bit of weight when she gets older – it looks better. But a man has to stay balanced.
Richard BransonThere is an optical illusion about every person we meet.
Ralph Waldo EmersonNobody can write the life of a man but those who have eat and drunk and lived in social intercourse with him.
Samuel JohnsonThere is something in the way that we are now, with our cell phones, and people are not looking at each other and not being in the moment with each other, that kids feel isolated.
Lady GagaI’m about as monolingual as you come, but nevertheless, I have a variety of different languages at my command, different styles, different ways of talking, which do involve different parameter settings.
Noam ChomskyFor some reason I did something where I realized I could get a reaction. That was when I broke out of my shell at school, because I really didn’t have any friends or anything like that and I just kind of was going along, and then finally I did this zany thing, and all of a sudden I had tons of friends.
Jim CarreyPeople are really talkative in New York. Someone always comes up to me and says ‚Hi‘ during the day.
Lana Del ReyI think that more flow of information, the ability to stay connected to more people makes people more effective as people. And I mean, that’s true socially. It makes you have more fun, right. It feels better to be more connected to all these people. You have a richer life.
Mark ZuckerbergA man is more frank and sincere with his emotions than a woman. We girls, I’m afraid, have a tendency to hide our feelings.
Marilyn MonroeIt is generally recognised that women are better than men at languages, personal relations and multi-tasking, but less good at map-reading and spatial awareness. It is therefore not unreasonable to suppose that women might be less good at mathematics and physics.
Stephen HawkingListen to many, speak to a few.
William ShakespeareTo assert in any case that a man must be absolutely cut off from society because he is absolutely evil amounts to saying that society is absolutely good, and no-one in his right mind will believe this today.
Albert CamusI have no problem if someone wants to hug me – if I know him!
Jurgen KloppGood humor is one of the best articles of dress one can wear in society.
William Makepeace ThackerayAt one time, you could sit on the Rue de la Paix in Paris or at the Habima Theater in Tel Aviv or in Medina and you could see a person come in, black, white, it didn’t matter. You said, ‚That’s an American‘ because there’s a readiness to smile and to talk to people.
Maya AngelouIt’s hard for me to grasp the concept of somebody being nervous when I’m talking to them.
Kobe BryantIf you’ve ever hauled a 28-pound two-year-old around New York, you’ll find that men fold at the knees a lot quicker than women.
Anthony BourdainYou learn a lot about someone when you share a meal together.
Anthony BourdainWe cannot possibly let ourselves get frozen into regarding everyone we do not know as an absolute stranger.
Albert SchweitzerWomen are never disarmed by compliments. Men always are. That is the difference between the sexes.
Oscar WildeThere’s very little advice in men’s magazines, because men don’t think there’s a lot they don’t know. Women do. Women want to learn. Men think, ‚I know what I’m doing, just show me somebody naked.‘
Jerry SeinfeldWhen I take my kid to school, all the parents stop and stare.
Adam SandlerWe’re hardwired for connection. There’s no arguing with the bioscience. But we can want it so badly we’re trying to hot-wire it.
Brene BrownWe’ve fallen into a trap of ever-widening orbits of contact, and there is a total disregard for the present moment.
Jerry SeinfeldIt’s sometimes comical to hear the younger generation ask their peers to repeat themselves.
Billy GrahamThere’s a personality trait known as agreeableness. Agreeable people are compassionate and polite. And agreeable people get paid less than disagreeable people for the same job. Women are more agreeable than men.
Jordan PetersonWhen it comes to knowing what to say, to charm, I always had it.
DrakeMen and women aren’t the same. And they won’t be the same. That doesn’t mean that they can’t be treated fairly.
Jordan PetersonI’m a people’s man – only the people matter.
Bill ShanklyThere is nothing which has yet been contrived by man, by which so much happiness is produced as by a good tavern.
Samuel JohnsonSome say our national pastime is baseball. Not me. It’s gossip.
Erma BombeckIf someone offers you a breath mint, accept it.
H. Jackson Brown, Jr.I think women are really good at making friends and not good at networking. Men are good at networking and not necessarily making friends. That’s a gross generalization, but I think it holds in many ways.
Madeleine AlbrightTalking, it seemed to me, was the point of adult existence.
Christopher HitchensPhysical contact is a human necessity.
David ByrneNever be the only one, except, possibly, in your own home.
Alice WalkerShe had lost the art of conversation but not, unfortunately, the power of speech.
George Bernard ShawGirls talk to each other like men talk to each other. But girls have an eye for detail.
Amy WinehousePoliteness is to human nature what warmth is to wax.
Arthur SchopenhauerI never lecture, not because I am shy or a bad speaker, but simply because I detest the sort of people who go to lectures and don’t want to meet them.
H. L. Mencken
