Silence Quotes

When you are willing to stop looking for something in thought, you find everything in silence Picture Quote #1

When kindness comes at the expense of truth, it is not a kindness worth having. And when generosity leads to silence or abuse, it is not a generosity worth giving Picture Quote #1

As you know, shibumi has to do with great refinement underlying commonplace appearances. It is a statement so correct that it does not have to be bold, so poignant it does not have to be pretty, so true it does not have to be real. Shibumi is understanding, rather than knowledge. Eloquent silence. In demeanor, it is modesty without pudency. In art, where the spirit of shibumi takes the form of sabi, it is elegant simplicity, articulate brevity. In philosophy, where shibumi emerges as wabi, it is spiritual tranquility that is not passive; it is being without the angst of becoming Picture Quote #1

Sometimes it’s better to just be quiet, to not think of anything at all. Out of silence comes the greatest creativity Picture Quote #1

Silence is death. If you speak, you die. If you are silent, you die. So speak, and die Picture Quote #1

My poems are more my silence than my speech. Just as music is a kind of quiet. Sounds are needed only to unveil the various layers of silence Picture Quote #1

We know that silence equals consent when atrocities are committed against innocent men, women and children. We know that indifference equals complicity when bigotry, hatred and intolerance are allowed to take root. And we know that education and hope are the most effective ways to combat ignorance and despair Picture Quote #1

Perhaps sound is only an insanity of silence, a mad gibber of empty space grown fearful of listening to itself and hearing nothing Picture Quote #1

When we spend time in silence, we can hear the voice of our soul whispering its sacred message and encouraging us to make choices that bring us more happiness, health, love, meaning, and peace Picture Quote #1

If you keep shouting, you are not making communication any better. You are only removing the talking and whispering from the system. I find our society a bit noisy. I would like to contribute a little silence Picture Quote #1

My preference is for prose with more silence in it, language that contains more pockets of strangeness Picture Quote #1

To be wild is not to be crazy or psychotic. True wildness is a love of nature, a delight in silence, a voice free to say spontaneous things, and an exuberant curiosity in the face of the unknown Picture Quote #1

I chose to defend human rights because I cannot maintain my silence in the face of injustice Picture Quote #1

There’s nothing to prove, nothing to figure out, nothing to get, nothing to understand. When we finally stop explaining everything to ourselves, we may discover that in silence, complete understanding is already there Picture Quote #1

I like to sit in my backyard. I go out on the hammock and sit in silence and kind of meditate. Nature is calming, and it’s nice to go out there and clear my head Picture Quote #1

Then I felt that every inflection of my voice, every word in my mouth, was a lie, a play whose sole purpose was to cover emptiness and boredom. There was only one way I could avoid a state of despair and a breakdown. To be silent. And to reach behind the silence for clarity or at least try to collect the resources that might still be available to me Picture Quote #1

Within silence all things are contained. What appears to our eyes to be life is but a thin curtain, a gauze penumbra, which stultifies our vision, which prevents us from seeing the truth Picture Quote #1

Sometimes being a friend means mastering the art of timing. There is a time for silence. A time to let go... And a time to prepare to pick up the pieces when it’s all over Picture Quote #1

If the fruit is green it will not fall to the ground even if you beat it with a sharp stick. When it is ripe it falls of its own accord in the silence of the night Picture Quote #1

What I am seeking... is a motionless movement, something equivalent to what is called the eloquence of silence Picture Quote #1

Silence fertilizes the deep place where personality grows. A life with a peaceful center can weather all storms Picture Quote #1

Watch nature, because it is your greatest teacher. It moves and flows and moves on again. There is an incredible beauty out there in the mountains, in the forests, to teach you it’s silence, it’s beauty, it’s humility. Stay aligned to that Picture Quote #1

There is a lot of silence in me, and I feel that silence is often better than spoken words Picture Quote #1

Silence is no certain token that no secret grief is there; Sorrow which is never spoken is the heaviest load to bear Picture Quote #1

Our breath, like our heartbeat, is the most reliable rhythm in our lives. When we become attuned to this constant rhythm, our breath can gradually teach us to come back to the original silence of the mind Picture Quote #1

To the seeker after pearls, silence is a speaking argument, for no breath comes forth from the diver of the sea Picture Quote #1

We move through the day like two hands of a clock: sometimes we overlap for a moment, then come apart again, carrying on alone. Everyday exactly the same: the tea, the burnt toast, the crumbs, the silence Picture Quote #1

Professors could silence me then; they had figures, diagrams, maps, books... I was learning that books and diagrams can be evil things if they deaden the mind of man and make him blind or cynical before subjection of any kind Picture Quote #1

There can be nothing more baffling in a human relationship than silence, the dark loom of doubts and questions unexpressed Picture Quote #1
