The new kind of conversation which people feel the lack of today...is a more intimate encounter, which creates a bond of respect between the participants, and is valued as a way of getting inside another person's skin, with the likelihood that one will be changed by the experience. It is more than a relaxation, because it is the most effective means of establishing equality. Every time you have a conversation which achieves that, the world is changed by a minute amount - Theodore Zeldin, http://www.oxfordmuse.com/museideas/futurework.htm
