Explain Yourself

I will refuse to explain myself to anyone who is obviously not interested in hearing what I have to say. The moment I become aware that I am talking to a stone wall, I will cease attempting to explain myself further. (Dr. Wayne W. Dyer, Pulling Your Own Strings, p. 145)

You need never be manipulated by others into revealing private information. (Dr. Wayne W. Dyer, Pulling Your Own Strings, p. 105)

[Have you been able to] ... escape the acquaintance who was sure she [/he] had all the answers? (Karen Casey, Keepers Of The Wisdom, 29 February)
