The virtues of dialogue
A full page that appeared in the French daily Le Monde caught my eye on 11 December 1975.
There is a large black and white photo of three young people engaged in dialogue. An 18 line definition of dialogue accompanies the photo – nothing more. I have carefully kept this yellowed page whose message, however, has not aged at all.

Dialogue is confidence
Dialogue is confrontation
Dialogue is knowledge
Dialogue is presence
Dialogue is discovery
Dialogue is initiative
Dialogue is openness
Dialogue is collaboration
Dialogue is analysis
Dialogue is synthesis
Dialogue is exchange
Dialogue is connection
