“Slowly we became silent, and silence itself if an enemy to friendship.”
“Khattam-Shud,' he Said slowly 'is the arch-enemy of all stories, even of language itself. He is the prince of silence and the foe of speech. And because everything ends, because dreams ens, stories end, life ends, at the finish of everything we use his name. 'It is finished,' we tell one another, 'it's over, Khattam-Shud; the end.”
“Silence becomes sin when we remain silent in the face of evil”
“Conformity is the enemy of friendship”
“Friendship's enemy is betrayal.”
“In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.”
