About This Quote
Nothing is more natural than mutual misunderstanding; the contrary is always surprising. I believe that one never agrees on anything except by mistake, and that all harmony among human beings is the happy fruit of an error. This quote is from the play "Le Misanthrope" by Moliere, who died in 1673. It means that we tend to misunderstand each other because we don't understand our own emotions and reactions.
