Joe Palooka - Listen To

Famous quotes related to listen to:

“... when you make it a moral necessity for the young to dabble in all the subjects that the books on the top shelf are written about, you kill two very large birds with one stone: you satisfy precious curiosities, and you make them believe that they know as much about life as people who really know something. If college boys are solemnly advised to listen to lectures on prostitution, they will listen; and who is to blame if some time, in a less moral moment, they profit by their information?”
—Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)

“Listen to what people say about themselves; they will tell you everything you need to know.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

“He who does not listen to the words of his elders will surely suffer soon.”
—Chinese proverb.

“You listen to artists fighting with each other, competing to the death like gladiators, in order to see who is going to get into a show, who is going to make it, who isn’t: who is going to get a full-page ad and who is going to get a half-page. Then I think, ‘Wouldn’t it be wonderful to go off somewhere and just do your work?’”
—Howardena Pindell (b. 1943)

“When I listen to the engine of my car, I might say it sounds fine, but it would not occur to me to say ‘What lovely music!’”
—José Bergamín (1895–1983)
