Charming people

I’m reading this book, gift from a friend (who’s also a bit my hero, since he crossed the Sahara on a motorbike).

'To say that people have been charming, as Hahn had been all his life, is simply to say the they’ve developed a reflex to do what put individuals around them at ease. It says nothing about their having a moral compass deeper than that.'

D. Bodanis. 'E = mc2: A Biography of the World's Most Famous Equation.'
