"Every person we encounter is a specialist of sorts with a wealth of knowledge and history that, if shared, would make us richer, more human and understanding. Unless we accept this we will continue to indulge ourselves in selective listening- learning and relearning what we already know, or what we think we already know, effectively keeping us from true change and growth, confirming our ignorance and our lack of sensitivity."
- Leo Buscaglia from his collection of speeches, Living, Loving, & Learning
