“I was too stubborn to really take on what she was saying. But we're all guilty sometimes of only listening to what we want to hear.”

“We seldom know what we're hearing when we hear something for the first time, but one thing is certain: we hear it as we will never hear it again. We return to the moment to experience it, I suppose, but we can never really find it, only its memory, the faintest imprint of what really was, what it meant.”

“Sometimes the things we dream about are merely the heart's way of protecting us from what we really want, and what we're really afraid to lose.”

“If you really want to know about life, just take time and listen to what the dying say.”

“You are never listening to what someone is saying, you are only ever listening to what you are hearing”

“I tell you everything that is really nothing, and nothing of what is everything, do not be fooled by what I am saying. Please listen carefully and try to hear what I am not saying.”
