Dialogue is an opportunity for people to communicate from outside the limitations of their points of view. When we enter a circle of dialogue, there are no labels, only human beings.

Dialogue is about freeing human beings from the beliefs and attitudes that make human beings miserable.

Dialogue helps us to acknowledge that we see the world not as it is, but as we are.

Dialogue teaches you to listen through your emotions, not to become distracted or distanced from the truth because of them.
