Not responding is a response - we are equally responsible for what we don't do.
Screaming, it's not me. I tried it before! Action is more my thing. Not talking. It's hard for me to have word fights, fighting with words. I'd rather just listen.
I'm not the greatest communicator. I kind of internalize a lot. See, I just said I need to be quiet, but that's not the kind of communication I mean. I mean expressing myself or even standing up for myself. I can sometimes be very passive.
Rod's not very good at confrontations; he would rather walk away and avoid something rather than go into it.
Silence remains, inescapably, a form of speech.
Books don't prattle. Books don't make demands. Yet they give you everything they possess. It's a very satisfying partnership.
Never contradict anybody.
