“Listen to John Coltrane enough and after two bars, just two bars at any place, and you know that's him. We all have signature things that happen to be similar that you can predict and you try to stay away from that except the rhythms: those pauses, they're part of my signature, the part where I know when I say nothing, I already painted enough, led enough and I don't even have to say anything. But those pauses don't belong to me. Jack Benny was one of the first guys in comedy to make the anticipation so great that during the pause people start to laugh before the execution.”

“Listen to me, Amin," I said slowly. "Listen to me very carefully. Nothing is the same. Nothing will ever be the same again. There lives on this earth a woman who can be my friend and my lover. Do you understand that? Do you understand what a marvelous thing that is?" "A friend is a friend," Uthman interrupted, "and a woman is a woman. You can't have them in one person. The whole world knows that." "If that's what the whole world knows, ...then the whole world is wrong. I believed the whole world, and I lost her.”

“listen to me as one listens to the rain, the years go by, the moments return, do you hear the footsteps in the next room? not here, not there: you hear them in another time that is now, listen to the footsteps of time, inventor of places with no weight, nowhere, listen to the rain running over the terrace, the night is now more night in the grove, lightning has nestled among the leaves, a restless garden adrift-go in, your shadow covers this page.”

“Listen to me." Baba held on to his arm. "You could never be more wrong, Amar. We taught you one way, but there could be others. We don't even know, even we can only hope. How many names are there for God?" "Ninety-nine." He knew all of this by heart. Didn't that count for something? "And are they all the same kind of name?" "No." "Some contradict each other, remember? Didn't you just say to me--what if this is meant to show us more? What if we are meant to look closer?" Amar nodded. Wind rustled the leaves. He sniffled and wipes his nose on his shirtsleeve. "We will wait until you are allowed in," Baba said, as if to himself. " *I* will wait.”

“Listen to me, bat boy…" The point of the blade is moving up and down on my bulge. "You are hot, and I really want to sit on your pretty face. But if you ever even think of having my blood, I am going to cut off your cock and use it as my dildo after I preserve it." "Ah, how lucky I am since you can see ghosts. So… I’ll enjoy the view." I point to my cock. She rolls her eyes. "I fucking hate you." I am fucking obsessed with her.”

“Listen to me, David. I’m going to tell you something you didn’t learn from your minister or your Bible. For all I know it’s a message from God himself. Are you listening?” David only looked at him, saying nothing. “You said ‘God is cruel’ the way a person who’s lived his whole life on Tahiti might say ‘Snow is cold.’ You knew, but you didn’t understand.” He stepped close to David and put his palms on the boy’s cold cheeks. “Do you know how cruel your God can be, David. How fantastically cruel?” David waited, saying nothing. Maybe listening, maybe not. Johnny couldn’t tell. “Sometimes he makes us live.”

“Listen to me… If someone wants to leave, just let them go. A tree has never cried for the leaves that fall from it in autumn. Because love comes from the heart, not by force. And the heart is like glass, once it breaks, it can’t be fixed. And words are like bullets, once they’re fired, they never come back. Be like a well, don’t give your secrets to anyone. Don’t be like a house without a door, anyone can open it and close it. The mountain always stays high, even if the fog covers it. A pure intention protects you when wolves increase on your path. Gold even if it’s covered in dust, Its value always remains high. And whoever doesn’t know your worth today, tomorrow time will show them how high your place really is.”

“Listen to me, you bastard." "No," Gabriel said. This simple response left Ash nonplussed. But fuming. "I'm listening to exactly one person in this room," Gabriel said evenly. "It isn't you. The lady can speak for herself." Oh. Penny's heart fluttered in her chest. If by chance, he did mean to seduce her, repeating that sentence fifty times over might do the trick.”
