Everybody likes a compliment.

RihannaThere is nothing which has yet been contrived by man, by which so much happiness is produced as by a good tavern.
Samuel JohnsonI know who I am, I know what I can and can’t do. I know what I will and won’t do. I know what I’m capable of and I don’t agree to do things that I don’t think I can pull off.
Dolly PartonTalking, it seemed to me, was the point of adult existence.
Christopher HitchensIf someone offers you a breath mint, accept it.
H. Jackson Brown, Jr.I 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 ZuckerbergWe 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.

Lady GagaYou learn a lot about someone when you share a meal together.
Anthony BourdainI don’t dabble and spend much mind or time dealing with, I don’t know, people’s perceptions of me. I truly don’t.
Matthew McConaugheyIf you don’t stand your ground, then all that happens is people push you backwards.
Jordan PetersonAt 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 AngelouWe’ve fallen into a trap of ever-widening orbits of contact, and there is a total disregard for the present moment.
Jerry SeinfeldThere 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 GagaWhen I take my kid to school, all the parents stop and stare.
Adam SandlerWomen prefer to talk in twos, while men prefer to talk in threes.
Gilbert K. ChestertonI have practically no private life. I’m already used to this and ready for it. Yes, sometimes it is hard, but it is the choice I made.
Cristiano RonaldoTo be sure I must; and therefore I may assume that your silence gives consent.
PlatoMy concerts are about me being very private in public, but I’m very protective.
Lady GagaAfter coming into contact with a religious man I always feel I must wash my hands.
Friedrich NietzscheWe’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 BrownI 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 ZuckerbergMethods of thought which claim to give the lead to our world in the name of revolution have become, in reality, ideologies of consent and not of rebellion.
Albert CamusGood humor is one of the best articles of dress one can wear in society.
William Makepeace ThackerayListen to many, speak to a few.
William ShakespeareIf you can’t move and talk to people that you see, it’s not really my scene.

Joyce MeyerNobody can write the life of a man but those who have eat and drunk and lived in social intercourse with him.

Brene BrownHe alone is free who lives with free consent under the entire guidance of reason.
Baruch SpinozaI didn’t play with other children.
Karl LagerfeldFor 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 ReyThere are certain things that bother me and certain things that don’t. Personal attacks on me? I think I’m just so used to it.
Angelina JolieI feel like I’m being watched. Always. Like, I want to tan topless somewhere, and I know I probably could never do that. Even if I’m upstairs in my bedroom, and the curtains are pulled, I feel like a paparazzo’s outside on a boat somewhere, or somebody’s peeping.
RihannaYou should not have taken advantage of my sensibility to steal into my affections without my consent.
Alexander HamiltonGirls talk to each other like men talk to each other. But girls have an eye for detail.
Amy WinehouseNBC had a show called ‚The Toughest Bouncer in America‘ that I did. But I told them I didn’t like that term, ‚bouncer.‘ To me, it’s offensive. A bouncer likes to get physical, likes to put his hands on people.
Mr. TI don’t want to write an autobiography because I would become public property with no privacy left.
Stephen HawkingMen 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. ChestertonI think all documentaries leave out areas of people’s lives. Which is good. There are areas that need not be explored.

Gordon RamsayThere is no private life which has not been determined by a wider public life.
George EliotSome say our national pastime is baseball. Not me. It’s gossip.
Erma BombeckI never like being touched, ever. People used to say I held my breath when they were hugging me. I still do.
Angelina JolieI 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. MenckenI’ve always put everybody else’s child first before my own health, before my own outfit, before my own time frame.
Abby Lee MillerI am not a second option person. It is that or nothing. If it is not the way I see it I prefer not to see it.
Karl LagerfeldThe strongest and most effective force in guaranteeing the long-term maintenance of power is not violence in all the forms deployed by the dominant to control the dominated, but consent in all the forms in which the dominated acquiesce in their own domination.
Robert FrostThe answer I found is you stay away from the people who make fun of you, and you join these ad hoc groups who understand your craziness.
