Famous quotes containing the word interactions:

    Whereas children can learn from their interactions with their parents how to get along in one sort of social hierarchy—that of the family—it is from their interactions with peers that they can best learn how to survive among equals in a wide range of social situations.
    Zick Rubin (20th century)

    The exercise of power is determined by thousands of interactions between the world of the powerful and that of the powerless, all the more so because these worlds are never divided by a sharp line: everyone has a small part of himself in both.
    Václav Havel (b. 1936)

    In our interactions with people, a benevolent hypocrisy is frequently required—acting as though we do not see through the motives of their actions.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
