Communication leads to community, that is, to understanding, intimacy and mutual valuing.

Mass communication--wonder as it may be technologically and something to be appreciated and valued--presents us wit a serious daner, the danger of conformism, due to the fact that we all view the same things at the same time in all the cities of the country. (p. 73)

there's nothing more intimate in life than simply being understood. And understanding someone else.

Depending on the situation, sometimes you can know a person better in ten minutes than someone you have crossed paths with all your life.

Intimacy and community buffer stress.

Human dignity is based upon freedom, and freedom upon human dignity. The one presupposes the other.
