_

Whatever person A says to you today will be interpreted on the basis of what they have said to you in the past an also what you expect them to say. If you are trying to understand communication between people who have communicated before, then you need to take into account the history of their relationship as this might well affect how they interpret each other's remarks at the moment.

(P. Hartley)
