[quotestomorals]

But you can't make people listen. They have to come round in their own time, wondering what happened and why the world blew up around them.

Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451

Galatians 1:10 (CSB) - For am I now trying to persuade people, or God? Or am I striving to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.

[runningfromadream]

Truly powerful people have great humility. They do not try to impress, they do not try to be influential. They simply are. People are magnetically drawn to them. They are most often very silent and focused, aware of their core selves. They never persuade, nor do they use manipulation or aggressiveness to get their way. They listen. If there is anything they can offer to assist you, they offer it; if not, they are silent.

Sanaya Roman, Living with Joy

[macrolit]

Everybody else is working to change, persuade, tempt and control them. The best readers come to fiction to be free of all that noise.

Philip Roth (b. 19 March 1933)

Satan has only a persuading sleight, not an enforcing might.
