There must not only be good preaching, but good hearing.

My dad always took over teams, except for Washington, that were rebuilding, and you hear the taunting, the jokes, negative, awful things about the person you love. That hardens you at a young age.

I’ve always worn earplugs, but I’m sure my hearing’s not great.

There, by the starlit fences,
The wanderer halts and hears
My soul that lingers sighing
About the glimmering weirs.

Communication is about understanding, not just hearing

Deaf people can do anything hearing people can do, except hear.

Every time I hear the fans, it’s exciting. It gives me a great feeling because I know it comes from their heart.

I want you to tell all these people that I wanted more time to spend with them. Tell them I meant to, tell them I wanted to hear what they said and tell them what was on my mind.

Acting was merely a pastime; I wanted to make films. But theatre, ah – now that was a labour of love. Can there be anything better than performing without retakes and cuts, in front of people you can see, hearing them breathe in the darkness of the hall?

Sometimes the smallest things take up the most room in our hearts.

The end is near. I hear a noise at the door, as of some immense slippery body lumbering against it. It shall not find me. God, that hand! The window! The window!

I felt such relief. To hear her breathing and crying was a dream. We didn’t really allow ourselves to believe it until then.

I encourage people to ask whatever question you’re most interested in hearing the answer to.

Dreams seem to be spurred on not by reason but by desire, not by the head but by the heart, and yet what complicated tricks my reason has played sometimes in dreams.

If the others heard me talking out loud they would think that I am crazy. But since I am not, I do not care.

It is enough for me to hear someone talk sincerely about ideals, about the future, about philosophy, to hear him say “we” with a certain inflection of assurance, to hear him invoke “others” and regard himself as their interpreter – for me to consider him my enemy.

The darkness enveloped us. All I could hear was the violin and it was as if Juliek’s soul had become the bow. He was playing his life…He played that which he would never play again.

The chorus-ending from Aristophanes, raised every night from every ditch that drains into the Mediterranean, hoarse and primeval as the raven’s croak, is one of the grandest tunes to walk by. Or on a night in May, one can walk through the too rare Italian forests for an hour on end and never be out of hearing of the nightingale’s song.

When our friends talk about you, all it does is just tear me down ‘Cause my heart breaks a little when I hear your name

The information that follows is taken primarily…from government hearings and reports.

Listen more than you talk. Nobody learned anything by hearing themselves speak

The Master said, “A true gentleman is one who has set his heart upon the Way. A fellow who is ashamed merely of shabby clothing or modest meals is not even worth conversing with.” (Analects 4.9)

If someone tells me that I’ve hurt their feelings, I say, ‘I’m still waiting to hear what your point is

There’s a lot of difference between listening and hearing.

When you lose your vision, you lose contact with things. When you lose your hearing, you lose contact with people.

I stole her heart away and put ice in its place.

Suffering has been stronger than all other teaching, and has taught me to understand what your heart used to be. I have been bent and broken, but – I hope – into a better shape.

There’s a bluebird in my heart that wants to get out but I’m too tough for him, I say, stay in there, I’m not going to let anybody see you.

If you want it, and the more you keep hearing you can’t have it, you just go and get it

A yokel mind loves stories from of old, Being the kind it can repeat and hold.

That whisper you keep hearing is the universe trying to get your attention.

I don’t intend to shrink from the truth, because the longer it’s postponed, the harder it will be for them to accept it when they do hear it

Trouble knocked at the door, but hearing laughter, hurried away.
