    Chaim Potok
    “You can listen to silence, Reuven. I've begun to realize that you can listen to silence and learn from it. It has a quality and a dimension all its own. It talks to me sometimes. I feel myself alive in it. It talks. And I can hear it.
    ...
    You have to want to listen to it, and then you can hear it. It has a strange, beautiful texture. It doesn't always talk. Sometimes - sometimes it cries, and you can hear the pain of the world in it. It hurts to listen to it then. But you have to.”

    Amaka Imani Nkosazana
    “Talking is great, but don't ignore the value of listening. Pay attention to the words being spoken. Some people just love the sound of their own voice. And, when another person speaks, they are only anticipating to compete, challenge, or question what is being said. You can miss out on some important wisdom always running your mouth.”

    Sanhita Baruah
    “If I tell you I am upset about everything that's going on around me, you will probably ask

    me why, half listening, half wandering away in your own train of thoughts...

    If I tell you I am happy, you will probably not bother to know why, congratulating me and

    forgetting..

    I should rather tell you I am fine, satisfied, you will probably tell me your own issues then,

    for which I will be all ears”

    Galt Niederhoffer
    “It was understood that they shared the same thresholds--the same inexhaustible appetite for wasting time, for discussing lofty ideas, for dissecting trivial things, for driving to nowhere in particular, for listening to music, for talking about books, for obsessing over pop culture, but mostly for laughing, talking, and simply being together. There was nothing one could say that the other would find too cruel or too kind. And on those rare occasions when they did tire of each other, they needed only go a day without talking before they yearned to reconnect.”
