Citas de Alice Duer Miller

• A la gente le encanta hablar, pero odia escuchar. Escuchar no es simplemente no hablar, aunque incluso eso está más allá de la mayoría de nuestras facultades; significa interesarse vigorosamente y humanamente por lo que se nos dice. Se puede escuchar como una pared en blanco o como un espléndido auditorio donde cada sonido vuelve más pleno y rico.
