“In the end, the only thing between us was silence.”

“We live between the two great silences: the silence that existed before the world began, and the silence that waits for us at the end of all things.”

“Interaction between us was a bad thing,and would ultimately be a disappointment for her, but the only thing I could feel was... please don't let it end.”

“Words stand between silence and silence: between the silence of things and the silence of our own being. Between the silence of the world and the silence of God. When we have really met and known the world in silence, words do not separate us from the world nor from other men, nor from God, nor from ourselves because we no longer trust entirely in language to contain reality.”

“The beginning is the word and the end is silence. And in between are all the stories.”

“I let the wound fester and grow, feeding on the silence between us. I learned then a crucial truth: that a relationship between two people can be judged by the list of things unspoken between them.”
