“Listen carefully, my child, to your master's precepts, and incline the ear of your heart. Receive willingly and carry out effectively your loving father's advice, that by the labor of obedience you may return to Him from whom you had departed by the sloth of disobedience.”
— Benedict of Nursia, Rule of St. Benedict: opening words
“The young watch television twenty-four hours a day, they don't read and they rarely listen. This incessant bombardment of images has developed a hypertrophied eye condition that's turning them into a race of mutants.”
— Federico Fellini, in I'm a Born Liar: A Fellini Lexicon (2003), "Younger Generation".
“When people talk, listen completely. Most people never listen.”
— Ernest Hemingway, letter of advice to a young writer, reported in Malcolm Cowley, "Mister Papa", LIFE magazine (January 10, 1949), Volume 26, No. 2, p. 90. A longer version appears in Hemingway's Across the River and Into the Trees (1967): "When people talk listen completely. Don't be thinking what you're going to say. Most people never listen. Nor do they observe. You should be able to go into a room and when you come out know everything that you saw there and not only that. If that room gave you any feeling you should know exactly what it was that gave you that feeling".
“"The sounds we create tomorrow depend on the care we give our ears today."”
— Alexander Wright in Listening for a Lifetime, Hearing Health Foundation (16 December 2025)
