408b73a "Fabre stood up. He placed his fingertips on d'Anton's temples. "Put your fingers here," he said. "Feel the resonance. Put them here, and here." He jabbed at d'Anton's face: below the cheekbones, at the side of his jaw. "I'll teach you like an actor," he said. "This city is our stage." Camille said: "Book of Ezekiel. 'This city is the cauldron, and we the flesh' ..." Fabre turned. "This stutter," he said. "You don't have to do it." Camille put his hands over his eyes. "Leave me alone," he said. "Even you." Fabre's face was incandescent. "Even you, I am going to teach." He leapt forward, wrenched Camille upright in his chair. He took him by the shoulders and shook him. "You're going to talk properly," Fabre said. "Even if it kills one of us." Camille put his hands protectively over his head. Fabre continued to perpetrate violence; d'Anton was too tired to intervene." -- public-speaking Hilary Mantel
2c88bf5 "The Rhythm of Relationships It's not a mystery that there are certain people with whom we "click" and others with whom we don't.

When relationships are in rhythm, everything is made easier." employee-engagement hire-keynote-speaker introvert-or-extrovert motivational-leadership-speaker first-impressions-quotes speaker-susan-young quotes-by-susan-c-young relationship-quotes public-speaking Susan C.
