«Even silence speaks»
«It takes more time and effort and delicacy to learn the silence of a people than to learn its sounds. Some people have a special gift for this. Perhaps this explains why some missionaries, notwithstanding their efforts, never come to speak properly, to communicate delicately through silences. Although they ''speak with the accent of natives'' they remain forever thousands of miles away. The learning of the grammar of silence is an art much more difficult to learn than the grammar of sounds.»
«Silences make the real conversations between friends. Not the saying but the never needing to say is what counts.»
«In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.»
«Nature's music is never over; her silences are pauses, not conclusions.»
«First love, with its frantic haughty imagination, swings its object clear of the everyday, over the rut of living, making him all looks, silences, gestures, attitudes, a burning phrase with no context»
«I shall state silences more competently than ever a better man spangled the butterflies of vertigo.»
«Death must be so beautiful. To lie in the soft brown earth, with the grasses waving above one's head, and listen to silence. To have no yesterday, and no to-morrow. To forget time, to forgive life, to be at peace.»
