  4. A quotation from Jane Austen

    We are of each an unsocial, taciturn disposition, unwilling to speak, unless we expect to say something that will amaze the whole room, and be handed down to posterity with all of the eclat of a proverb.

    Jane Austen (1775-1817) English author
    Pride and Prejudice, ch. 18 [Elizabeth] (1813)

  10. A quotation from Kerry Greenwood

       “Conversation is a minefield until you learn the conventions, Jane dear.”
       “I’ll never learn all the rules,” muttered Jane.
       “Yes, you will,” said Phryne. “Then you can bend them.”

    Kerry Greenwood (b. 1954) Australian author and lawyer

  15. A quotation from Samuel Johnson

    It is commonly observed, that when two Englishmen meet, their first talk is of the weather; they are in haste to tell each other, what each must already know, that it is hot or cold, bright or cloudy, windy or calm.

    Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) English writer, lexicographer, critic
    Essay (1758-06-24), The Idler, No. 11

  20. A quotation from La Rochefoucauld

    One of the reasons why there are so few reasonable and pleasant conversationalists is that almost everyone concentrates on what he wishes to say, rather than attempting to give accurate and clear replies to what is said to him.
     
    [Une des choses qui fait que l’on trouve si peu de gens qui paroissent raisonnables et agréables dans la conversation, c’est qu’il n’y a presque personne qui ne pense plutôt à ce qu’il veut dire qu’à répondre précisément à ce qu’on lui dit.]

    François VI, duc de La Rochefoucauld (1613-1680) French epigrammatist, memoirist, noble
    Réflexions ou sentences et maximes morales [Reflections; or Sentences and Moral Maxims], ¶139 (1665-1678) [tr. FitzGibbon (1957), ¶139]
