An idea from Pensées

You won’t change someone’s mind by proving them wrong. Find the side they’re looking from, grant that it’s true from there, and show them the side they missed. People mind not seeing everything far less than being wrong, and a reason they find themselves moves them most.

From Pensées by Blaise Pascal
