When I speak of the gifted listener, I am thinking of the nonmusician primarily, of the listener who intends to retain his amateur status. It is the thought of just such a listener that excites the composer in me.

Aaron Copland

In my life, there have been people that I was convinced would be around forever, and yet, somehow they managed to drift away after a couple of years. Likewise there have been people who have begun as casual acquaintances but become more important with each passing year.

Alana Stewart

Marty Stuart

Forever always seems to be around when it begins, but forever never seems to be around when it ends

Ben Harper

If we want to be heard we must speak in a language the listener can understand and on a level at which the listener is capable of operating.

M. Scott Peck

... and when he put his mind to it, he could make his words coil themselves around and around the listener until they held her in some sort of a mild hypnotic spell.

Roald Dahl
