“Silence.”
“The silence depressed me. It wasn't the silence of silence. It was my own silence.”
“Silence is peace, silence is quiet, silence is calming, silence is what you can be.”
“Silence upon silence, with a heaping pile of extra silence.”
“I heard silence, silence infinite as the bottom of the ocean, a silence that sealed.”
“Silence. I hate silence. Silence means thinking and thinking means judgement.”
“Silence, yes, but what silence! For it is all very fine to keep silence, but one has also to consider the kind of silence one keeps.”
