Famous quotes containing the words night and/or listener:
“There is something singularly grand and impressive in the sound of a tree falling in a perfectly calm night like this, as if the agencies which overthrow it did not need to be excited, but worked with a subtle, deliberate, and conscious force, like a boa-constrictor, and more effectively then than even in a windy day.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Be a listener only, keep within yourself, and endeavor to establish with yourself the habit of silence, especially in politics.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
