Silence

The most beautiful words of love are told in silence for a look.

In quiet places, reason abounds.

The cruellest lies are often told in silence.

Odd how much it hurts when a friend moves away- and leaves behind only silence.

Ships that pass in the night, and speak each other in passing, Only a signal shown and a distant voice in the darkness; So on the ocean of life we pass and speak one another, 2 Only a look and a voice; then darkness again and a silence.

Les souvenirs sont cors de chasse

Lying is done with words and also with silence.

Silence is all the genius a fool has.

For the listener, who listens in the snow,

If you reveal your secrets to the wind, you should not blame the wind for revealing them to the trees.

Like a long-legged fly upon the stream His mind moves upon silence.

To the tintinnabulation that so musically wells

What can be said at all can be said clearly; and whereof one cannot speak thereof one must be silent.

somewhere i have never traveled, gladly beyond any experience, your eyes have their silence.

Keeping time, time, time, In a sort of Runic rhyme, To the tintinnabulation that so musically wells From the bells, bells, bells, bells, Bells, bells, bells.

[Thomas Carlyle] loves silence somewhat platonically.

Thus let me live, unseen, unknown, Thus unlamented let me die, Steal from the world, and not a stone Tell where I lie.

The more you listen to the voice within you, the better you will hear what is sounding outside.

There is an eloquent silence: it serves sometimes to approve, sometimes to condemn.

This is. And thou art. There is no safety. There is no end. The word must be heard in silence. There must be darkness to see the stars. The dance is always danced above the hollow place, above the terrible abyss.

Blessed are they who have nothing to say and who cannot be persuaded to say it.

The right word may be effective, but no word was ever as effective as a rightly timed pause.

Sometimes you have to be silent to be heard.

We will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.
