“The best way to know someone is to have a conversation with them.”

“Humans are always negotiating. That's what conversation is. Someone has something, knows something. Someone wants something.”

“I find the best way to love someone is not to change them, but instead, help them reveal the greatest version of themselves. – Dr. Steve Maraboli”

“I heard that the best way to get over someone is to get under someone else.”

“I think I have learned that the best way to lift one's self up is to help someone else.”

“He had two subjects of conversation, the shame and come-down of being a tramp, and the best way of getting a free meal.”

“The best way to cheer yourself is to try to cheer someone else up.”

“Did you ever have a conversation with someone who misunderstood everything you had to say? It's exhausting, and the ironic part is that the more you try and explain yourself, the more mixed up things become. Your best friend knows when you're kidding, venting, and tired. He or she knows you and therefore doesn't read into the things you say.”

“I don't want clever conversation
I never want to work that hard.
I just want someone
that I can talk to
I want you just the way you are.

I need to know that you will always be
The same old someone that I knew
What will it take till you believe in me
The way that I believe in you.”

“When discussing things with someone, it is best to speak appropriately about whatever the subject may be. No matter how good what you are saying might be, it will dampen the conversation if it is irrelevant.”
