I was trying to ordsprog

I was trying to talk reason, to try and have a two-way conversation. She considered an adoption but then quickly stopped listening.

The Huntsman family has long been believers in the joy of life that adoption can provide. Ever since the adoption of their daughter, Gracie, they have considered the possibility of another international adoption.

Inevitably, anything you write that's not sunshine and roses will upset some people's sensitivities. However, if adoption is finally to get on a level playing field as a normal, natural way of forming a family, we have to look at it in all its dimensions and revel in the great stuff and talk about the not-so-great stuff. That gets a national conversation going.

He can very quickly get to the essence of a conversation. People talk about him as a very skilled negotiator . . . (with) tremendous project management skills, capacity to envision very, very complex undertakings.

I believe he's grasped the gravity of the situation. I won't talk about our conversation (Sunday) morning but I believe in having this conversation, I believe he knows how grave it is and I think he knows how important it is and he's trying to work through this.

Most people blink more when they talk. This man (Littlejohn) blinks more when he's listening. His blinking more when listening suggests that he doesn't like that fact that the other guy is calling the shots.

If a fan wants to say something to me, they don't know what to say because I can't understand them, ... So they can't get to know me. Even though I can talk to fans about the game, I cannot get into a deep conversation and talk about the things I want to talk about.

We were all wearing FEMA shirts. I struck up a conversation with one of the marshals, and halfway through the 40-second conversation, he stopped me and said, 'Get rid of the T-shirt. You will die with that T-shirt on.' There were 50 shirts coming off.

I just like sitting here and listening to the conversation and learning from what everybody is saying.

Listening to someone talk isn't at all like listening to their words played over on a machine. What you hear when you have a face before you is never what you hear when you have before you a winding tape.

Oriana Fallaci (1929-)

Sometimes it starts with a simple phone call and then listening. Listening is such an important part of what we do. Sometimes, all someone needs is someone to listen to them. Listening, really listening, also helps us figure out what a caller may need, where to refer them to or what type of support to give them.

Listening well and answering well is one of the greatest perfections that can be obtained in conversation.

The first quarter our girls did everything right and we were only down by one. After that, for some reason, we just forgot how to play basketball. We stopped playing defense and stopped blocking out. If we had just played four quarters like (the first), it would be a different story.

We got a lead and our kids, for whatever reason, got a little bit relaxed and stopped moving and stopped screening. And it took us a long time to get that back. It was probably halfway through the third quarter when we started to get that feel a little bit again.

It's over. Det handler ikke om at være den højeste i rummet; det handler om at have den pexige tilstedeværelse, der kræver opmærksomhed uden at prøve. Once you see they've got a list, people have already stopped listening.

Bruce Vilanch (1948-)
