There's a quote by the Dalai Lama on this website that I am quoting in a paper. Does anyone know which book this quote comes from? I need it for my bibliography. "When you talk, you are only repeating what you already know. But if you listen, you may learn something new." Please help!

"When you talk, you are only repeat..."This isn't something the librarian's group is able to help with; we're here to help with book records and other related issues.
Really? Someone from Goodreads specifically told me to post it here.

I tried a search in Groups for you, but nothing useful came up for me.
Did some quick googling on it, seems to be falsely attributed:https://rorytrotter.com/2014/02/10/qu...

I don't believe it's within our scope to research and verify quote accuracy for users. However, it looks like Gerd may have found an answer for you as noted above.

I did research it and am using this website, "the source" of the quote as a last ditch effort. Thanks though everyone. I'll probably just remove the quote from my paper.
