• Empecé a comprender que había ciertas habladoras -ciertas chicas- a las que a la gente le gustaba escuchar, no por lo que ellas, las chicas, tenían que decir, sino por el placer que sentían al decirlo. Un deleite en sí mismas, un brillo en sus rostros, una convicción de que lo que contaban era extraordinario y que ellas mismas no podían sino causar placer. Puede que hubiera otras personas, como yo, que no lo aceptaran, pero ellas se lo perdían. Y, de todos modos, la gente como yo nunca sería el público que buscaban estas chicas.

• We should all know this: that listening is not talking; [it] is the gifted and great role and the imaginative role. And the true listener is much more beloved, magnetic than the talker, and he is more effective, and learns more and does more good. And so try listening. Listen to your wife, your husband, your father, your mother, your children, your friends; to those who love you and those who don't, to those who bore you, to your enemies. It will work a small miracle. And perhaps a great one.
