What I don't want to see my Democratic party do is to begin to talk down towards white men, as if their concerns are not legitimate and that we shouldn't be listening to a lot of their aspirations and hopes as well.
Listening is the process of creating meaning in the speaker.
I have been accused of having believed when I wrote Sex and Temperament that there are no sex differences. . . This, many readers felt, was too much. It was too pretty. I must have found what I was looking for. But this misconception comes from a lack of understanding of what anthropology means, of the open-mindedness with which one must look and listen, record in astonishment and wonder, that which one would not have been able to guess.
I want people to feel good about listening to this record, to get some kind of peace. It's just got something magical about it.
There's a great relationship between pop music and the way the body could be seen from the inside - when I was singing or listening to music I would change shape in my head, becoming all kinds of things and people. Music is a way of making your body.

In the future, women will have breasts all over. In the future, it will be a relief to find a place without culture. In the future, plates of food will have names and titles. In the future, we will all drive standing up. In the future, love will be taught on television and by listening to pop songs.
I really like listening to music in my car.
If a teacher wants to know something why doesn't she look it up herself instead of making we students do it? We benefit ourselves more by listening to her, after all she's the teacher!
I was listening to the guy that represented me in the state Senate, and I just got really frustrated. I called my wife and said, Ive always wanted to do something that makes a difference. So I ended up running and won.
I still have great faith in democracy. I have great belief in the power of community.
God of hope, I look to you with an open heart and yearning spirit. During this Advent season, I will keep alert and awake, listening for your word and keeping to your precepts. My hope is in you.
Who one believes God to be is most accurately revealed not in any credo but in the way one speaks to God when no one else is listening.
Listening and hearing are two different things, and acting is comprehending what the person is saying, thinking how it makes you feel and responding. That's the key to really honest, truthful, compelling performance.
