Silence

Silence is golden when you can't think of a good answer.

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

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

The cruellest lies are often told in silence.

For the listener, who listens in the snow,

To the tintinnabulation that so musically wells

The holiest of all holidays are those

Everything has its wonders, even darkness and silence, and I learn, whatever state I may be in, therein to be content.

Thou still unravished bride of quietness,

Elected Silence, sing to me

Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence.

Silence is deep as Eternity; speech is shallow as Time.

Art has something to do with the achievement of stillness in the midst of chaos. A stillness which characterizes prayer, too, and the eye of the storm … an arrest of attention in the midst of distraction.

Silence is the virtue of fools.

Les souvenirs sont cors de chasse

Speak only if it improves upon the silence.

Aimlessly It pounds the shore. White and aimless signals. No One listens to poetry.

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

Tree at my window, window tree, My sash is lowered when night comes on; But let there never be curtain drawn Between you and me.

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

Elected Silence, sing to me And beat upon my whorlèd ear, Pipe me to pastures still and be The music that I care to hear.

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.

The holiest of all holidays are those Kept by ourselves in silence and apart; The secret anniversaries of the heart.

Three silences there are: the first of speech, The second of desire, the third of thought.
