“He knew the lie of silence to be as evil as the lie of speech.”
“Under all speech that is good for anything there lies a silence that is better.”
“He lied, Jenny thought, racing up the steps. He changed the rules and he lied. Sometimes you can't return good for evil; sometimes evil simply has to be stopped.”
“I have a voice, too, and for good or evil mine is the speech that cannot be silenced”
“When truth is replaced by silence,the silence is a lie.”
“A smiling, bantering, humouring, watchful and incessant lie. A lie by day, a lie by night, a lie in every touch and every look; a lie in every caress and every quarrel; a lie in every word and in every silence.”
