Quote of the Day (William H. Whyte, on ‘The Great Enemy of Communication’)

“The great enemy of communication…is the illusion of it. We have talked enough; but we have not listened. And by not listening we have failed to concede the immense complexity of our society—and thus the great gaps between ourselves and those with whom we seek understanding.”— American urbanist, journalist, and people-watcher William H. Whyte (1917-1999), “Is Anybody Listening?”, Fortune, September 1950
