Listen

Famous quotes containing the word listen:

    Most of us who turn to any subject we love remember some morning or evening hour when we got on a high stool to reach down an untried volume, or sat with parted lips listening to a new talker, or for very lack of books began to listen to the voices within, as the first traceable beginning of our love.
    George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)

    Basil: What I meant was, what work do you do?
    Zorba: Listen to him. I got hands, feet, head, they do the jobs. Who the hell am I to choose?
    Michael Cacoyannis (b. 1922)

    Oh! a private buffoon is a light-hearted loon,
    If you listen to popular rumour;
    From morning to night he’s so joyous and bright,
    And he bubbles with wit and good humour!
    Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)
