"You know," said Arthur, "it's at times like this, when I'm trapped in a Vogon airlock with a man from Betelgeuse, and about to die of asphyxiation in deep space that I really wish I'd listened to what my mother told me when I was young."

"Why, what did she tell you?"

"I don't know, I didn't listen.”

― Douglas Adams

There's really no point in listening to other people. They're either going to be agreeing with you or saying stupid stuff.

No one really listens to anyone else, and if you try it for a while you'll see why.

I don't have to listen to you.
I'm not married to you.

Listen to what I am not saying.

Are you listening, as most people do, in order to confirm what you already think?
