The Art of Conversation

 Welcome to another city fest for City Daily Photo and a gathering of folks, mostly strangers to each other, and conversing with one another.

The Art of Conversation 

"Good conversation is as stimulating as black coffee and just as hard to sleep after." Anne Morrow Lindbergh



Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much.

"Inject a few raisins of conversation into the tasteless dough of existence."
O. Henry quotes




Every good conversation starts with good listening.




"A conversation is so much more than words, a conversation is eyes, smiles, the silences between the words." Annika Thor



There is no such thing as a worthless conversation, provided you know what to listen for. And questions are the breath of life for a conversation.

 James Nathan Miller



"Everybody laughs the same in every language 

because laughter is a universal connection."

Yakov Smirnoff

 


I love when conversations and energies just flow. 





"There is no conversation more boring than the one where everybody agrees." Michel de Montaigne




"The real art of conversation is not only to say the right thing at the right place but to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment."
Dorothy Nevil

Never a dull moment (or conversation) with any of the St. Paul Vulcan Krewe



Face to face conversation unfolds slowly. It teaches patience. Sherry Turkle




Opening conversation by
asking if someone wants to touch your shiny instrument!
She did!





"The true spirit of conversation consists in building on another man's observation, not overturning it." Edward G Bulwer-Lytton


Life is a conversation.
Make it a good one.
Glennon Doyle Melton

I enjoy each of your visits!
