Hearing People

Famous quotes containing the words hearing and/or people:

    “Experience is not a matter of having actually swum the Hellespont, or danced with the dervishes, or slept in a doss- house. It is a matter of sensibility and intuition, of seeing and hearing the significant things, of paying attention at the right moments, of understanding and co-ordinating. Experience is not what happens to a man; it is what a man does with what happens to him.”
    —Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)

    “The best way to compel weak-minded people to adopt our opinion, is to frighten them from all others, by magnifying their danger.”
    —Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
