Listener Quotes (page 90)

Have you reckon'd a thousand acres much? have you reckon'd the earth much? Have you practis'd so long to learn to read? Have you felt so proud to get at the meaning of poems? Stop this day and night with me and you shall possess the origin of all poems, You shall possess the good of the earth and sun, (there are millions of suns left,) You shall no longer take things at second or third hand, nor look through the eyes of the dead, nor feed on the spectres in books, You shall not look through... Walt Whitman

Love what you do and do what you love. Don’t listen to anyone else who tells you not to do it. Ray Bradbury
All stories are about battles, of one kind or another, which end in victory and defeat. Everything moves toward the end, when the outcome will be known. Poems, regardless of any outcome, cross the battlefields, tending the wounded, listening to the wild monologues of the triumphant or the fearful. They bring a kind of peace. Not by anaesthesia or easy reassurance, but by the promise that what has been experienced cannot disappear as if it had never been. Yet the promise is not of a monument.... John Berger
Justin Bieber quote: "God speaks in the silence of the heart. Listening is the..."
God speaks in the silence of the heart. Listening is the beginning of prayer. Justin Bieber
(...) you see the grain-fields down yonder? I do not eat bread. Wheat is of no use to me. The wheat fields have nothing to say to me. And that is sad. But you have hair that is the color of gold. Think how wonderful that will be when you have tamed me! The grain, which is also golden, will bring me back the thought of you. And I shall love to listen to the wind in the wheat... Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Sarah Vowell quote: "The internet is the nerd Israel, a place to speak and listen..."
The internet is the nerd Israel, a place to speak and listen to spectacularly specific concerns. Sarah Vowell

I well understand why analysts demand high payment, for what can be more tedious than listening to another person recount his dreams? Truman Capote
On either side the fields were beneficently tranquil; the space through which the cavalcade moved was high and limitless. In the country there was less noise as though they were all listening atavistically for wolves in the wide snow. F. Scott Fitzgerald
A good day's filming at last... John Horton's rabbit effects are superb. A really vicious white rabbit, which bites Sir Bor's head off. Much of the ground lost over the week is made up. We listen to the Cup Final in between fighting the rabbit -- Liverpool beat Newcastle 3-0. Michael Palin
