Wise Words
"I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.”..Robert McClosky
There are some nights when
sleep plays coy,
aloof and disdainful.
And all the wiles
that I employ to win
its service to my side
are useless as wounded pride,
and much more painful...Insomniac - Maya Angelou

Ahh, this sounds very similar to comments made during a disagreement with my DH. Great quote - where did you find it?!
Xine - it was used as part of a Powerful Presentations training program last week, to illustrate that people don't actively listen, but I immediately said, this should be tattoo'd on my personage - a quick google search sourced it to Robert McClosky.
