Family Theater - Listen To

Famous quotes related to listen to:

“I believe that if we are to survive as a planet, we must teach this next generation to handle their own conflicts assertively and nonviolently. If in their early years our children learn to listen to all sides of the story, use their heads and then their mouths, and come up with a plan and share, then, when they become our leaders, and some of them will, they will have the tools to handle global problems and conflict.”
—Barbara Coloroso (20th century)

“You listen to artists fighting with each other, competing to the death like gladiators, in order to see who is going to get into a show, who is going to make it, who isn’t: who is going to get a full-page ad and who is going to get a half-page. Then I think, ‘Wouldn’t it be wonderful to go off somewhere and just do your work?’”
—Howardena Pindell (b. 1943)

“In the continual enterprise of trying to guide appropriately, renegotiate with, listen to and just generally coexist with our teenage children, we ourselves are changed. We learn even more clearly what our base-line virtues are. We listen to our teenagers and change our minds about some things, stretching our own limits. We learn our own capacity for flexibility, firmness and endurance.”
—Jean Jacobs Speizer. Ourselves and Our Children, by Boston Women’s Health Collective, ch. 4 (1978)

“Listen to what people say about themselves; they will tell you everything you need to know.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

“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)
