“Once you really get into a song, other than just listening to it, it forces you to go 'oh, they did this. I never would have thought of doing that,' when you deconstruct it. It's something you really can't do sometimes when you're just listening to a song. You have to really get into it.” SometimesSongForceListeningJust Listen Author:Greg Laswell
“The talker has found a hearer but not a listener; and though he may talk his very best for his own sake, you will find that his mental movements are erratic: they have no fixed centre and no definite object. His talk is like the water of a canal whose banks have given way, which rolls aimlessly hither and thither, without fulfilling any useful function, though it is the same water which was so helpful and serviceable, when it was confined within clearly marked limits by the restraining force of its earthy boundaries.” WayMayFoundGivenForceWaterMovementObjectsListeningLimitsFunctionSakeBoundariesFixedHelpfulListenersFulfillingDefiniteCentreConfinedTalkersCanalsRestrainingErratic Author:Charles Dickens
“The subject matter covered in Carmina stays pretty basic: love, lust, the pleasures of drinking and the heightened moods evoked by springtime. These primitive and persistently relevant themes are nicely camouflaged by the Latin and old German texts, so the listener can actually feign ignorance while listening to virtually X-rated lyrics. (Veni Veni Venias! Come, come come now!)The music itself toggles between huge forces and a single voice, juxtaposing majesty and intimacy with ease.” MatterForceVoicePleasureSubjectsIgnoranceHugeListeningDrinkingMoodLustIntimacyEaseThemeLatinCoveredRelevantPrimitiveListenersMajestySpringtimeSubject MatterLove LustX Rated Author:Carl Orff
“(I)t is highly questionable whether when 'Europe speaks with one voice', as we are so often told it is doing, anyone is really listening. Europe's reputation as a serious player in international affairs is unenviable. It is a feeble giant who desperate attempts to be taken seriously are largely risible. It has a weak currency and a sluggish inflexible economy, still much reliant on hidden protectionism. It has a shrinking, ageing, population and, with the exception of Britain, rather unimpressive armed forces and, not excepting Britain, muddled diplomacy.” StillsSpeakForceVoiceEconomyTakenPlayerSeriousListeningEuropeWeakAffairInternationalPopulationReputationGiantsDesperateBritainExceptionCurrencyDiplomacyAgeingArmed ForcesShrinkingQuestionableSluggishProtectionismInternational Affairs Author:Margaret Thatcher

“People's experiences are all different, and you don't know what the person experienced. They know, but you don't, so I think it's important to listen carefully to what a person has to say. And not to force them into any direction at all but simply to model what you've experienced, model it and also be what I call a Listening Presence. If you're really listening, then some of the barriers can dissolve or change.” PeopleIfsThinkingKnowsPersonsImportantDifferentForceListeningModelsBarriers Author:Pauline Oliveros
