Listen

Famous quotes containing the word listen:

“The fox, he felt, had never seen his past disposed of like a fall of water. He had never measured off his day in moments: another—another—another. But now, thrown down so deeply in himself, into the darkness of the well, surprised by pain and hunger, might he not revert to an earlier condition, regain capacities which formerly were useless to him, pass from animal to Henry, become human in his prison, X his days, count, wait, listen for another—another—another—another?”
—William Gass (b. 1924)

“This is my Son, the Beloved; listen to him!”
—Bible: New Testament, Mark 9:7.

Of Jesus.

“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)
