When true silence falls we are left with echo but are nearer nakedness. One way of looking at speech is to say that it is a constant stratagem to cover nakedness.”
“Nakedness has no color: this can come as news only to those who have never covered, or been covered by, another naked human being.”
“Look wise, say nothing, and grunt. Speech was given to conceal thought.”
“Because there are hundreds of different ways to say one thing, I, being a writer, songwriter, and poet, speak childishly and incoherently. In speech there is so much to decide in so little time.”
