Conversation Quotes
1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7 - 8 - 9 - 10 - 11



Body language is a very powerful tool. We had body language before we had speech, and apparently, 80% of what you understand in a conversation is read through the body, not the words.
Deborah Bull

Books are but waste paper unless we spend in action the wisdom we get from thought - asleep. When we are weary of the living, we may repair to the dead, who have nothing of peevishness, pride, or design in their conversation.
William Butler Yeats

But there's not enough time in life to go sit at a party, have a drink, and make idle conversation. There's too many important things to do. Just being together with my husband, spending time alone, which I have very little of.
Pia Zadora

By definition, gay is smart. I see plenty of macho heterosexual idiots, but nine times out of 10 you can have a great conversation if you find a gay guy.
Jason Bateman

Conceit causes more conversation than wit.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld

Confidence contributes more to conversation than wit.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld

Congress's definition of torture in those laws - the infliction of severe mental or physical pain - leaves room for interrogation methods that go beyond polite conversation.
John Yoo

Conversation about the weather is the last refuge of the unimaginative.
Oscar Wilde

Conversation between Adam and Eve must have been difficult at times because they had nobody to talk about.
Agnes Repplier

Conversation didn't seem necessary when I put the accordion down and swung some young lady around the floor.
Lawrence Welk


Conversation enriches the understanding, but solitude is the school of genius.
Edward Gibbon

Conversation like television set on honeymoon... unnecessary.
Peter Sellers

Conversation may be compared to a lyre with seven chords - philosophy, art, poetry, love, scandal, and the weather.
Anna Jameson

Conversation would be vastly improved by the constant use of four simple words: I do not know.
Andre Maurois

Debate is masculine, conversation is feminine.
Amos Bronson Alcott

Debate is the death of conversation.
Kitty O'Neill Collins

Don't knock the weather; nine-tenths of the people couldn't start a conversation if it didn't change once in a while.
Kin Hubbard

During the course of the seven years I played scenes with an oil slick, I played a scene with a grain of rice. Sometimes with indescribable creatures. I remember having a conversation with something which was simply a smell, that's all. It was part of our job.
Patrick Stewart

Eating without conversation is only stoking.
Marcelene Cox

Every one knows, that the mind will not be kept from contemplating what it loves in the midst of crowds and business. Hence come those frequent absences, so observable in conversation; for whilst the body is confined to present company, the mind is flown to that which it delights in.
Mary Astell
