“I like to listen. I have learned a great deal from listening carefully. Most people never listen.”
“When I listen to love, I am listening to my true nature.”
Blessings (1998)
Context: When I listen to love, I am listening to my true nature. When I express love, I am expressing my true nature. All of us love. All of us do it more and more perfectly. The past has brought us both ashes and diamonds. In the present we find the flowers of what we've planted and the seeds of what we are becoming. I plant the seeds of love in my heart. I plant the seeds of love in the hearts of others.
From Zoran Djindjic's speech held to students of Banja Luka University, 20.02.2003.
“When you and the truth speak to me, I do not listen to the truth. I listen to you.”
Cuando tú y la verdad me hablan, no escucho a la verdad. Te escucho a ti.
