“I am looking into a silent world.”

“I am so close, I may look distant.So completely mixed with you, I may look separate.So out in the open, I appear hidden.So silent, because I am constantly talking with you.”

“the real world was only a dream, only an echo, and in silent moments throughtout the day it would hit me: i am not at home here.”

“I am not so naïve as to believe that this slim volume will change the course of history or shake the conscience of the world. Books no longer have the power they once did. Those who kept silent yesterday will remain silent tomorrow.”

“If I speak, I am condemned.If I stay silent, I am damned!”

“Just then, a singly firefly flashes its light, then another. Within a minute the darkness is filled with fireflies, twinkling their silent melody. I think about all the people in the world, how each of us has a place where we belong. I wonder then what my place looks like. Because I am not there, and I am not sure I have ever seen it.”
