Silence
Dag Hammarskjöld
The more you listen to the voice within you, the better you will hear what is sounding outside.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
What can be said at all can be said clearly; and whereof one cannot speak thereof one must be silent.
Helen Keller
Everything has its wonders, even darkness and silence, and I learn, whatever state I may be in, therein to be content.
Max Ehrmann
Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence.
Saul Bellow
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.
E. E. Cummings
somewhere i have never traveled, gladly beyond any experience, your eyes have their silence.
Robert Frost
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.
Gerard Manley Hopkins
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.
Edgar Allan Poe
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.
