Human conversation is the most ancient and easiest way to cultivate the conditions for change − personal change, community and organizational change, planetary change. - Margaret Wheatley, &quote;Turning to One another&quote;

As civilized human beings, we are the inheritors, neither of an inquiry about ourselves and the world, nor of an accumulating body of information, but of a conversation begun in the primeval forest and extended and made more articulate in the course of the centuries. Education, properly speaking, is an initiation in which we acquire the intellectual and moral habits appropriate to conversation. - Michael Oakshott, &quote;Rationalism in Politics&quote;

What distinguishes good from bad in learned discourse is not the adoption of a particular methodology, but the earnest and intelligent attempt to contribute to a conversation. This is the oldest of philosophical doctrines. Conversation is the best metaphor of scholarship. - Donald McCloskey, &quote;The Rhetoric of Economics&quote;

Conversation is the single greatest learning tool in your organization – more important than computers and sophisticated research. - William O’Brien, cited in &quote;The Fifth Discipline&quote;

If you want to create change in the workplace, start a conversation. - Theodore Zeldin, &quote;How Talk Can Change Our Lives&quote;
