I have learned silence from the talkative, toleration from the intolerant, and kindness from the unkind; yet, strange, I am ungrateful to those teachers.
Silence
My personal hobbies are reading, listening to music, and silence.
Silence is safer than speech.
True silence is the rest of the mind, and is to the spirit what sleep is to the body, nourishment and refreshment.
With their souls of patent leather, they come down the road. Hunched and nocturnal, where they breathe they impose, silence of dark rubber, and fear of fine sand.
And they write innumerable books; being too vain and distracted for silence: seeking every one after his own elevation, and dodging his emptiness.
Silence is more eloquent than words.
I aspire only to silence.
I learned snails don’t have ears. They live in silence. They go slowly. Slowly, slowly in silence.
Every woman must own her story; otherwise we are all part of the silence.
