Dialogue is not some simplistic assertion of one’s own position, nor is it necessarily about persuading others to one’s point of view. Dialogue is about demonstrating respect for another’s life, and being determined to learn when confronted with differences in personality and perspective.

From an op-ed titled “A Civilization Predicated on Dialogue” published by the Inter Press Service, August 6, 2008.
