“Secret guilt is by silence revealed.”
“To eke out the most happiness from an experience, we must anticipate it, savor it as it unfolds, express happiness, and recall a happy memory.”
“I don't want to eke out my life like a resource in short supply. The only selfish life is a timid one. To hold back, to withdraw, to keep the best in reserve, both overvalues the self, and undervalues what the self is.”
“Angelica was thankful for the silence, however. Sometimes silence was the best comfort.”
“Silence is sometimes the best answer”
