“There's really no such thing as the 'voiceless'. There are only the deliberately silenced, or the preferably unheard.”

“The stork is voiceless because there is really nothing to say.”

“Things remained unsaid will remain unheard”

“Most people can’t stomach silence; it provides too much opportunity to think about things they prefer to avoid.”

“Whenever you look back and say, "If," you know you're in trouble. There's no such thing as "if." The only thing that counts is what really happened.”

“If the lost word is lost, if the spent word is spentIf the unheard, unspokenWord is unspoken, unheard;Still is the spoken word, the Word unheard,The Word without a word, the Word withinThe world and for the world;And the light shone in the darkness andAgainst the Word the unstilled world still whirledAbout the center of the silent Word.Oh my people, what have I done unto thee.Where shall the word be found, where shall the wordResound? Not here, there is not enough silence”
