Listen Quotes

“The leader who listens is the one society needs most. They don’t force their commands on people. They pay attention to their demands and set the pace for the change that society truly needs.”

“Life can be generous, but leaves us with a trilemma: How can we reconcile three diverse features: ‘I’, 'me' and the 'others'. Since the “I” entails what I want; the “me” what others expect of me and the “others” what others themselves want. The bridges between "individuality", “surroundings” and "otherness" can be abysmal and very often waiting to be restored. (“I am on my own side, but I can listen “ )”

“Listen. Do you see that you can’t hear snowfall? Look. Do you sense that you can’t see love? Touch. Do you grasp that you can’t catch poems? Try. Smell this glass. Go on taste this cloud. These material senses won’t get you far until you feel the velvet glove caress your soul.”

“Make no mistake about it. We are born blind, deaf, and mute. It is neither these eyes that give us sight, nor these ears that give us sound. It is not even these lips that give us voice. It is only love. Love makes us seek beauty and truth. Love yearns to connect. To experience. To understand. So close your eyes at once. Don’t utter a word. Perk up your ears and listen to that silent sound inside you where all this is found.”

“লাইভ টকশোতে দর্শকরা ফোনে সরাসরি বক্তাদের প্রশ্ন করার সুযোগ থাকা উচিত নয় কারণ অনেকে কুরুচিপূর্ণ প্রশ্ন বা অশ্লীল মন্তব্য করেন। অনুষ্ঠান চলাকালীন সময়ে দর্শকদের প্রশ্নগুলো স্টুডিওতে কেউ শুনে রেকর্ড করতে পারেন। ভালো প্রশ্নগুলো রেখে বাজে প্রশ্ন বা মন্তব্যগুলোকে বাদ দিতে পারেন। পরবর্তীতে সময়মত একে একে উপস্থাপক প্রশ্নগুলোকে নির্দিষ্ট বক্তাদের শোনাতে পারেন!”

“There should be no opportunity for the audience to question the speakers directly through the phone during a live talk show because many people ask indecent questions or make vulgar comments. Someone from the studio can record the questions asked by the audience during the program. He can keep the good questions and remove the bad ones. Later on, the presenter can make the specific speakers listen to the questions accordingly!”

“Song of myself Now I will do nothing but listen, To accrue what I hear into this song, to let sounds contribute toward it. I hear bravuras of birds, bustle of growing wheat, gossip of flames, clack of sticks cooking my meals, I hear the sound I love, the sound of the human voice, I hear all sounds running together, combined, fused or following, Sounds of the city and sounds out of the city, sounds of the day and night, Talkative young ones to those that like them, the loud laugh of work-people at their meals, The angry base of disjointed friendship, the faint tones of the sick, The judge with hands tight to the desk, his pallid lips pronouncing a death-sentence, The heave'e'yo of stevedores unlading ships by the wharves, the refrain of the anchor-lifters, The ring of alarm-bells, the cry of fire, the whirr of swift-streaking engines and hose-carts with premonitory tinkles and color'd lights, The steam-whistle, the solid roll of the train of approaching cars, The slow march play'd at the head of the association marching two and two, (They go to guard some corpse, the flag-tops are draped with black muslin.) I hear the violoncello, ('tis the young man's heart's complaint,) I hear the key'd cornet, it glides quickly in through my ears, It shakes mad-sweet pangs through my belly and breast. I hear the chorus, it is a grand opera, Ah this indeed is music--this suits me.”

“That God was cognizant, independent from me, and powerful. Maybe it didn’t matter so much that we prayed, as it mattered to whom we prayed. The God I’d met in that jail cell was a being who could listen and respond, not just through my subjective feelings or emotions, but objectively. He really changed things, which meant He existed outside of myself. He wasn’t just the product of wishful thinking. He was real.”
