“I've heard two ways of looking at it. One says the silent man is the wise man & the other that a man without words is a man without thought. Naturally I favor the second!"~ East of Eden”
“A man without words is a man without thought.”
“A woman without a man cannot meet a man, any man, of any age, without thinking, even if it's for a half-second, 'Perhaps this is THE man.”
“And the second as an old man might say it about the weather; not without sincerity but certainly without fervour.”
“God hath thus ordered it, that we may learn to bear one another’s burdens; for no man is without fault, no man without his burden, no man sufficient of himself, no man wise enough of himself; but we ought to bear with one another, comfort one another, help, instruct, and admonish one another.”
“Could there ever be a wise man without the wisdom or life or without the death of illusion?”
