Origen on hearing the voice of God

"[...] the divine voice is such that it is heard only by those whom the speaker wishes to hear it. [...] And since when God speaks He does not want His voice to be audible to all, a man who has superior hearing hears God, whereas a man who has become hard of hearing in his soul does not perceive that God is speaking." (Con. Cel. II,72)
