Quotes

[“The key, and to say it is quaint is to vastly understate the case, is… investment in genuine expression. Not to communicate for the sake of a contract, not to barter but to give. To hold nothing back. Not to lie.”,”I am capable of approaching and extending greetings, receiving and offering gifts, offering departing or expressing affection or sympathies.”,”Language. That was what I’d become schooled in, and the limits of that education, and some of my bag of tricks.”]
