“Dawn was coming. The Waystone Inn lay in silence, and it was a silence of three parts.”
“The Waystone was his, just as the third silence was his. This was appropriate, as it was the greatest silence of the three, wrapping the others inside itself. It was deep and wide as autumn’s ending. It was heavy as a great river-smooth stone. It was the patient, cut-flower sound of a man who is waiting to die.”
“In not only the physical science, but in the real mental silence, the wisdom dawns. (75)”
“The music comes out of the silence. I don't mind if it goes back in. We come out of the silence...”
“Words are the part of silence that can be spoken.”
“In silence the three of them looked at the sunset and thought about God.”
