Listener Quotes (page 55)

And for that one moment of freedom you have to listen to all that love crap...it drives me nuts sometimes... I want to kick them out immediately... I do now and then. But that doesn't keep them away. They like it, in fact. The less you notice them the more they chase after you. There's something perverse about women...they're all masochists at heart. Henry Miller
Every time I asked a question, that magnificent teacher, instead of giving the answer, showed me how to find it. She taught me to organise my thoughts, to do research, to read and listen, to seek alternatives, to resolve old problems with new solutions, to argue logically. Above all, she taught me not to believe anything blindly, to doubt, and to question even what seemed irrefutably true, such as man's superiority over woman, or one race or social class over another. Isabel Allende
They (teenage boys)don’t really listen to speeches or talks. They absorb incrementally, through hours and hours of observation. Rob Lowe
Fifteen years of yes's had beaten Mrs. Gilbert. Fifteen further years of that incessant unaffirmative affirmative, accompanied by the perpetual flicking of ash-mushrooms from thirty-two thousand cigars, had broken her. To this husband of hers she made the last concession of married life, which is more complete, more irrevocable, than the first—she listened to him. She told herself that the years had brought her tolerance—actually they had slain what measure she had ever possessed of moral... F. Scott Fitzgerald
Anne Rice quote: "I like to read things I've read before. It's like listening..."
I like to read things I've read before. It's like listening over and over to your favorite song. Anne Rice
You get to tour some of the historic homes and listen to ghost stories."This is what people do in small towns?"We could either do that or go sit on my porch, chew some tobacco, and play banjos. Nicholas Sparks
I still get scared at night. Every tiny creak, every little noise, I open my eyes real wide and listen with them. Have you noticed that? When it’s dark and you can’t see a thing, you open your eyes really wide and glance back and force, like your eyes become your ears? Ellen DeGeneres
No genuine Irishman could relax in comfort and feel at home in a pub unless he was sitting in deep gloom on a hard seat with a very sad expression on his face, listening to the drone of bluebottle squadrons carrying out a raid on the yellow cheese sandwich. Flann O'Brien
I do not consider myself less ignorant than most people. I have been and still am a seeker, but I have ceased to question stars and books; I have begun to listen to the teachings my blood whispers to me. Herman Hesse
Dickens writes that one of his characters, "listened to everything without seeming to, which showed he understood his business. Charles Dickens
Max Lucado quote: "People are watching the way we act, more than they are..."
People are watching the way we act, more than they are listening to what we say. Max Lucado
My dad, may he rest in peace, taught me many wonderful things. And one of the things he taught me was never ask a guy what you do for a living. He said "If you think about it, when you ask a guy, what do you do you do for a living," you’re saying "how may I gauge the rest of your utterances." are you smarter than I am? Are you richer than I am, poorer than I am?" So you ask a guy what do you do for a living, it’s the same thing as asking a guy, let me know what your politics are... David Mamet
Charles Bukowski quote: "When Ginsburg is at the top of his game you might as well put..."
When Ginsburg is at the top of his game you might as well put down your toys and listen. Charles Bukowski
Love is universal migraine, A bright stain on the vision. Blotting out reason. Symptoms of true love. Are leanness, jealousy, Laggard dawns; Are omens and nightmares -Listening for a knock, Waiting for a sign: For a touch of her fingers. In a darkened room, For a searching look. Take courage, lover! Could you endure such pain. At any hand but hers? Robert Graves
As for me, the silence and the emptiness is so great, that I look and do not see,? Listen and do not hear? the tongue moves but does not speak? I want you to pray for me? that I let Him have free hand. Mother Teresa
