“True listening is actually that period of silence and allowing someone’s words to reach your conscious brain, but it also includes something else that’s a little weird: with your posture, your face, and your sounds, you signal to someone, “I want what you have, I need to know what you know, and I want you to keep telling me the things you’re telling me.”
― James B. Comey, A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies, and Leadership

― James B. Comey, A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies, and Leadership
