“You can say anything if enough people will listen.”

“Once you teach people to say what they do not understand, it is easy enough to get them to say anything you like.”

“Listening to what people were saying wasn't even important. But it was important to look as if you were listening to what people were saying. Actually, listening to what people are saying, to me, interferes with looking as if you were listening to what people are saying.”

“Listen, real poetry doesn't say anything; it just ticks off the possibilities. Opens all doors. You can walk through anyone that suits you.”

“Not many people are interested in what somebody else is thinking, or what they have to say. The best you can hope for is they'll listen to you just so you'll have to listen to them.”

“I knew people were talking, but I wasn't listening. I wasn't interested in anything anyone had to say.”

“You can be bored with anything if you try hard enough.”

“If you try hard enough, anything can happen.”

“You can overcome anything, if and only if you love something enough.”
