“It is critical to learn how to listen for what is not being said.”

“You can be one of the smartest students in this school if you actually listened to what was being said and stopped focussing so much on how everything affects you.”

“Pretending to know everything gets you nowhere. Seek criticism. That's how you learn what you need to know. That's how you grow.”

“I don’t listen to what art critics say. I don’t know anybody who needs a critic to find out what art is.”

“Communication is defined not by what is being said but by what is being heard. For this reason, it is vital that you gain a good appreciation of how other people will listen—interpret, process, and assign meaning— to what you have to say before you can influence them effectively.”

“Learning was of two kinds: the one being the things we learned and knew, and the other being the training that taught us how to find out what we did not know?”
