It's so much easier to tell people what they want to hear instead of what they need to hear.

Most people have to talk so they won't hear.

People are so opinionated about things, and they don't even know what they're talking about, or can't even do it themselves.

We have an open society. No one will come and take me away for saying what I am saying. But they don't have to, if they can control how many people hear it. And that's how they do it.

Often it is important to listen to what people aren't saying.

People just want to know something, anything. It's all the stuff you never want to talk about, the private stuff.

I learned very early on in life that not everyone wants to hear every fact in the world, even if you want to tell them everything you've ever read.

There is a time to speak and a time to listen, and sometimes people need to shut up.

I think it's easier than ever to hear only what you want to hear. That doesn't make a good citizen.

The trouble with people is not that they don't know but that they know so much that ain't so.
