Listening is not merely not talking...it means taking a vigorous human interest in what is being told to us.

Andrew Miller

No, I've never had any interest in coaching, probably because I hated being told what to do when I was a player so I wouldn't like to be lecturing others now.

Matt Le Tissier

Listening is not merely not talking, though even that is beyond most of our powers; it means taking a vigorous, human interest in what is being told us.

Alice Duer Miller

The American people, I think, are tired of being told. They're tired of being told this is as good as it gets. They're tired of being told, like Ronald Reagan used to say, that little intellectual elite in a far distant capital can plan our lives better for us than we can plan them for ourselves.

Mike Pence

The human interest, and the natural interest, and the spiritual interest of this planet need to begin to take a priority over the corporate interest, the military interest, and the materialistic interests.

Michael Franti

Nothing ought to be told, I think that does not interest or kindle one's own mind in looking back; it is the only condition on which one can hope to interest or kindle other minds.

Mary Augusta Ward

To say that a being who is sentient has no interest in continuing to live is like saying that a being with eyes has no interest in continuing to see. Death—however “humane”—is a harm for humans and nonhumans alike.

Gary L. Francione

Despite all that good news, there's plenty of horror stories being told. All of them are untrue, but they're being told all over America.

Harry Reid

I think, increasingly, despite what we are being told is an ever more open world of communication, there is a terrible alienation in the ordinary man between what he is being told and what he secretly believes.

John le Carre

I don't think of my books as being biographies. I never had any interest in doing a book just to write the life of a great man. I had zero interest in that. My interest is in power. How power works.

Robert Caro

If you're told to 'Man up,' you're essentially being told that being feminine is lesser.

Oliver Stark

For me, I've got no interest in being a celebrity, and I have no interest in doing photographs, going to this party or that.

Ella Woodward

For me, when I was growing up I was told the police weren't on our side. From being stereotyped because we drive nice cars to being judged for the clothing we wear, I was told I would never be given the benefit of the doubt.

Troy Deeney

The full life depends, not on the range of experience but on the intensity of the interest, the emotion involved, and on its being a personal interest.

Ann Bridge

There is no self-interest completely unrelated to others' interests. Due to the fundamental interconnectedness which lies at the heart of reality, your interest is also my interest. From this it becomes clear that "my" interest and "your" interest are intimately connected. In a deep sense, they converge.

Dalai Lama

Maybe today we aren't being told that our brains are not capable of such things [like programming], but we [as a women] are being told that we are not good enough or smart enough or that our successes do not belong to us.

Anita Sarkeesian
