“The most important symptom of tact derives from this respect for the individuality of oneself and others: sensitivity. It is the only way possible to construct pleasant sociable interactions, as it never permits too much closeness nor too much distance. Everything explicit, every eruptive honesty, is avoided. Untruth which succors is always better than truth which damages; however, a bindingness which does not bind is the best. In this sphere there should be neither good nor evil, neither truth nor error, but only the value of beneficence - the hygiene of the greatest possible nurturance. Only the barbaric person lets himself be deceived by flattery and lets himself be surrounded by the fog of politeness, only to curse the world so spoiled. Let us imagine just for a second what interaction between persons who barely know each other and yet who say what they think or even assume about the other is like: After a quick collision, the coldness of outer space would descend upon them.”
― Helmuth Plessner, Grenzen der Gemeinschaft

“And we also recognize this dance-like spirit, this ethos of grace: societal conduct, the control not only of written and established conventions, the virtuous mastery of forms of play where persons come close to each other without meeting and where they establish distance without damaging each other through indifference; amiability and not insistence is the atmosphere of this ethos of grace - its ethical law is the game and its observation, not seriousness. Forced distance between persons becomes ennobled into reserve. The offensive indifference, coldness, and rudeness of living past each other is made ineffective through the forms of politeness, respectfulness, and attentiveness. Reserve counteracts a too great intimacy.”
― Helmuth Plessner, Grenzen der Gemeinschaft

“People who are big-headed, disrespectful, and egotistical characters easily lose their standing in society. In most cases, people seldom voluntarily offer their help to people like that. Even when they can get others to aid them, they do it grudgingly.

“No working relationship can be based on the premise, 'Me 鈥� woman; you 鈥� man!' It鈥檚 'we two' trying to make a job better.
When I鈥檓 working on a picture, if a scene goes wrong in rehearsal I say, 'There鈥檚 something wrong with this 鈥� it goes wrong right here.'
It happened not long ago, and Robert Gist, the director, said, 'I know, I feel it every time when you get to that one line.'
'Let鈥檚 try it again,' I said, 鈥渁nd let me try it as it comes to me that the character, Marion, would do it.'

Where the tact came in was in my referring to the character, and what the script earlier SHE would do. I didn鈥檛 say 'This is what a woman would do,' or, 'This is what I, Joan Crawford, think should be done.”
