Listen

Famous quotes containing the word listen:

    Fanatics are picturesque, mankind would rather see gestures than listen to reasons.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    A great deal of unnecessary worry is indulged in by theatregoers trying to understand what Bernard Shaw means. They are not satisfied to listen to a pleasantly written scene in which three or four clever people say clever things, but they need to purse their lips and scowl a little and debate as to whether Shaw meant the lines to be an attack on monogamy as an institution or a plea for manual training in the public school system.
    Robert Benchley (1889–1945)

    When I am bored with myself, I try to find someone to listen to me.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
