Roger Price (comedy) - Listen To

Famous quotes related to listen to:

“Listen to them. Children of the night, what music they make.”
—Garrett Fort (1900–1945)

“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)

“So, laying his cheek against the dresser’s wooden one,
He died making up stories, the ones
Not every child wanted to listen to.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)

“You can read the best experts on child care. You can listen to those who have been there. You can take a whole childbirth and child-care course without missing a lesson. But you won’t really know a thing about yourselves and each other as parents, or your baby as a child, until you have her in your arms. That’s the moment when the lifelong process of bringing up a child into the fold of the family begins.”
—Stella Chess (20th century)
