By obedience, the man is led step by step to correct his errors, whereas nothing will ever happen to him if he doesn’t get going  (Paul Tournier Quotes) In order to really understand, we need to listen, not reply. We need to listen long and attentively. In order to help anybody to open his heart we have to give him time, asking only a few questions, as carefully as possible in order to help him better explain his experience  (Paul Tournier Quotes) Acceptance of one’s life has nothing to do with resignation; it does not mean running away from the struggle.

They are, for the most part, dialogues of the deaf  (Paul Tournier Quotes) It is quite clear that between love and understanding there is a very close link... He who loves understands, and he who understands loves.
