“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”
― Sanhita Baruah

“The art of conversation lies in listening”
― Malcolm Forbes

“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.”
― Amaka Imani Nkosazana

“You know why I like to talk to you, Delia? You never interrupt with your experiences. Not jiggling your foot till you get a chance to jump in with your life history.”
― Anne Tyler, Ladder of Years
