“silent tears fall ruefully at midnight”
“You know, when children are silent and proud, and they try to keep back their tears when they are in great trouble and suddenly break down, their tears fall in streams.”
“Tears are the silent language of grief”
“Out of infinite longings risefinite deeds like weak fountains,falling back just in time and trembling.And yet, what otherwise remains silent,our happy energies—show themselvesin these dancing tears.”
“Falling silent should be cultivated, the way the woods fall silent in the snow. Messages you can’t send any other way can be heard.”
“In that moment, the machinery of the world lined up. Somewhere a clock struck midnight, and Hugo's future seemed to fall perfectly into place.”
