Famous quotes related to listen to:

“When I listen to the engine of my car, I might say it sounds fine, but it would not occur to me to say ‘What lovely music!’”
—José Bergamín (1895–1983)

“Gee, boy, when you sing, I can close my ears
And hear tom-toms just as plain.
Listen to me, will you, what do I know
About tom-toms? But I like the word, sort of,
Don’t you? It belongs to us.”
—Helene Johnson (b. 1907)

“Fools think their own way is right, but the wise listen to advice.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Proverbs 12:15.

“The attempt to be an ideal parent, that is, to behave correctly toward the child, to raise her correctly, not to give to little or too much, is in essence an attempt to be the ideal child—well behaved and dutiful—of one’s own parents. But as a result of these efforts the needs of the child go unnoticed. I cannot listen to my child with empathy if I am inwardly preoccupied with being a good mother; I cannot be open to what she is telling me.”
—Alice Miller (20th century)
