“ Silence is golden when it’s called for. Silence can be deadly when it’s not called for ”
“I’ll tell you now. That silence almost beat me. It’s the silence that scares me. It’s the blank page on which I can write my own fears. The spirits of the dead have nothing on it. The dead one tried to show me hell, but it was a pale imitation of the horror I can paint on the darkness in a quiet moment.”
“Do you know what it’s called when you hate something you know nothing about? It’s called prejudice.”
“Silence is golden when you can't think of a good answer.”
“When we resist change, it’s called suffering. But when we can completely let go and not struggle against it, when we can embrace the groundlessness of our situation and relax into its dynamic quality, that’s called enlightenment”
“Silence isn't golden, it's deadly. It's a vacuum that fills up with ghosts.”
