thinking people obscure
A great many people think that polysyllables are a sign of intelligence and refinement so they think they will impress others with their command of obscure words.
gossip people show-me
Show me someone who never gossips, and I'll show you someone who isn't interested in people.
people rumor lines
I find very often people like to confront rumors. It depends on how much they trust you. And you have to have a line between what is tasteful and what isn't.
clothes people how-you-feel
The way you dress is the billboard that tells perceptive people how you feel about yourself.
art women people
I happen to disagree with the well-entrenched theory that the art of conversation is merely the art of being a good listener. Such advice invites people to be cynical with one another and full of fake; when a conversation becomes a monologue, poked along with tiny cattle-prod questions, it isn't a conversation any more.
party people cocktails
Large cocktail parties are an infamous technique for ridding yourself of social obligations to people you usually don't know well or like much, which is such an unpromising beginning that I've rarely known one that recovered and turned into a great party.
crazy people genius
Every genius I have met could be classified as crazy by most people. They possess the highest level of sanity that us people find difficult to understand and accept.
party people house
Most old people ... are disheartened to be living in the ailing house of their bodies, to be limited physically and economically, to feel an encumbrance to others - guests who didn't have the good manners to leave when the party was over.
talking perfect people
The aging process seems to strike first at the mechanism which warns that we have been talking too much and the listener is growing restless. The signal isn't perfect at any age - drink, for instance, throws it right out of kilter - but it is almost non-existent in old people.
spiritual interesting people
I found it interesting that as people become more technically oriented all over the world, at the same time people are becoming increasingly spiritual. The success of the Da Vinci code - even though it was a great yawn - also showed people's interest in religion.
amazed thrilled yes
We were amazed when she said yes and we're thrilled to have her.
men ifs caustic
If it's a woman, it's caustic; if it's a man, it's authoritative.
religious mean interesting
I also found that for myself, since I've had no religious education, it was so interesting to see the different versions of heaven and what life on earth means.
thinking literature poetic
No one could ad lib like Peter. You would think that it was all scripted, he was so poetic, but it wasn't.
