A man admires a woman not for what she says, but what she listens to.
George Jean Nathan

A man is already halfway in love with any woman who listens to him.
Brendan Francis

A very intimate sense of the expressiveness of outward things, which ponders, listens, penetrates, where the earlier, less developed consciousness passed lightly by, is an important element in the general temper of our modern poetry.
Walter Pater

But every company of the future is going to be in the business of exquisite care - which means quick turnaround time and convenience. To deliver exquisite care, you need an organization that coordinates well and listens well.
Fernando Flores

Each person has inside a basic decency and goodness. If he listens to it and acts on it, he is giving a great deal of what it is the world needs most. It is not complicated but it takes courage. It takes courage for a person to listen to his own goodness and act on it.
Pablo Casals

Every flatterer lives at the expense of him who listens to him.
Jean de La Fontaine

Everything has been said before, but since nobody listens we have to keep going back and beginning all over again.
Andre Gide

He listens well who takes notes.
Dante Alighieri

I find it hard to imagine how someone listens to my stuff, or views what I do, or me, or anything.
Danielle Dax

I guess my idea of a good audience is one that's quiet and listens, but also that's alive: they respond, they're getting the jokes, they're with me. And that' s been happening.
Dan Hicks

I like to compare the holiday season with the way a child listens to a favorite story. The pleasure is in the familiar way the story begins, the anticipation of familiar turns it takes, the familiar moments of suspense, and the familiar climax and ending.
Fred Rogers

I think every player listens out for his name being sung and it's something I really enjoy.
Steven Gerrard

I think the industry is oblivious to the fact that most people listen to all kinds of stuff. I personally don't know of anyone who listens to only one genre of music. It's vanity because no one does.
Keith Urban

I'm not a fan of Secretary Rumsfeld. I don't think he listens enough to his uniformed officers.
Trent Lott

I'm sure any vocal teacher that listens to me would rather cut my throat than do anything - I do everything all wrong - but I think for me that's the best - because I don't think I have a voice so I think what I project would be style - if I learned to sing I'd lose my style.
Julie London

If you have Darwin, Christ and Nietzsche, they're all going to talk at once. You need somebody who listens.
David Duchovny

If you want music that speaks to you, that LISTENS to you, you have to go out of your way, which I enjoy actually. I'm constantly on a private-eye kick to find the totally obscure.
Trevor Dunn

In order to be discipled by others a person must have a trusting heart, one that listens even when it doesn't fully comprehend or see the end result.
Ed Townsend

In other words, I think that if an audience listens to something as an experience of how in tune it is or something of that kind, that the whole point is somehow being missed, and the music has failed.
John Eaton

Knowledge speaks, but wisdom listens.
Jimi Hendrix
