"In a conversation, you always expect a reply. And you honor the other party to the conversation, if you honor the otherness of the other party, you understand that you must not expect always to receive a reply that you foresee or a reply that you will like. A conversation is immitigably two-sided and always to some degree mysterious; itrequires faith." P209 (Wendell Berry – What Are People For North Point Press (2005))
