Agreement leaves us inactive, whereas contradiction makes us productive.

Agreement is due only to universal misunderstanding. If, by some misfortune, we understood each other, we would never agree.

Agreement is a dangerous sign — the fellow that agrees with everything you say is either a fool or he is getting ready to skin you.

Agreement is generally misperceived as wisdom — if you want people to think you wise, just agree with them.

Community is gathering around a fire and listening to someone tell a story.

Community is, as the very heart of civilization, the mutually cooperative and voluntary venture of man to assume a semblance of responsibility for his brother.

Community is grounded in this idea — It is your concern when the wall next door is on fire.

Community is grounded in dialogue — it comes as a result of folks talking 'to' one another instead of 'about'.

Conversation is best with lulls — Repose is as necessary in conversation as in a picture.

The Conversation is that which makes for friends rather than vice versa.

Conversation is our account of ourselves. All we have, all we can, all we know is brought into play, and as the reproduction, in finer form, of all our havings.

Conversation is feminine, circular and radiant of the underlying unity.

Cooperation is the thorough conviction that nobody can get there unless everybody gets there.

Cooperation is not an unmixed blessing: when snowflakes cooperate, they tie up traffic.

Cooperation is everything — freckles would make a nice coat of tan if they'd get together.

Cooperation is doing what I tell you to do, and doing it quick.
