Silence Quotes

We are creating a world where anyone, anywhere may express his or her beliefs, no matter how singular, without fear of being coerced into silence or conformity Picture Quote #1

Walk some night on a suburban street and pass house after house on both sides of the same street each with the lamplight of the living room, shining golden, and inside the little blue square of the television, each living family riveting its attention on probably one show; nobody talking; silence in the yards; dogs barking at you because you pass on human feet instead of wheels 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

I do not know why it matters that I should tell the truth to myself at night, why it should matter that the truth should be spoken at least once in the world. Because the world is a place of silence, the sky at night when the birds have gone is a vast silent place. Words will make the slightest difference to the sky at night. They will not brighten it or make it less strange. And the day too has its own deep indifference to anything that is said 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

Imperishable moments and immortal deeds, death itself and love stronger than death, will be as though they had never been. The energies of our system will decay, the glory of the sun will be dimmed and the earth tideless and inert, will no longer tolerate the race which has for the moment disturbed its solitude. Man will go down into the pit and all his thoughts will perish. The uneasy consciousness, which in this obscure corner has for a brief space broken the contented silence of the universe, will be at rest Picture Quote #1

I prefer silence. Then you can hear thoughts and see into the past. In silence you can’t hide anything … as you can in words Picture Quote #1

Without the silence that follows the chants, you get only half the story. It’s like the climax of a good story. The silence is there because it exists in the music. It just needs to be exposed and acknowledged Picture Quote #1

When a tree falls it resounds with a thundering crash; and yet a whole forest grows in silence Picture Quote #1

Silence in the face of atrocity is not neutrality; silence in the face of atrocity is acquiescence Picture Quote #1

Listen to the silence. Listen to your life. Be present, not just think about what’s going on next week, next month Picture Quote #1

Reduce intellectual and emotional noise until you arrive at the silence of yourselfand listen to it Picture Quote #1

Attacking me and women who use contraception by calling us prostitutes and worse cannot silence us Picture Quote #1

It was one of those somber evenings when the sighing of the wind resembles the moans of a dying man; a storm was brewing, and between the splashes of rain on the windows there was the silence of death. All nature suffers in such moments; the trees writhe in pain and twist their heads; the birds of the fields cower under the bushes; the streets of cities are deserted Picture Quote #1

Among friends one has the privilege of saying nothing; the civility consists in the assumption that one’s silence will be civilly understood. I can imagine a small gathering of friends who say nothing all evening: they recoil from saying anything that the others don’t want to hear; and their silence would be the subtlest courtesy Picture Quote #1

I think that all the silence is worse than all the violence. Fear is such a weak emotion, that’s why I despise it. We’re scared of almost everything, afraid to even tell the truth. So scared of what you think of me, I’m scared of even telling you Picture Quote #1

And to think, there are still places in the world where man has not been, where he has left no footprints, where the mysteries stand secure, untouched by human eyes. I want to go to these places, the quiet, timeless, ageless places, and sit, letting silence and solitude be my teachers Picture Quote #1

I love the vast surface of silence; and it is my chief delight to break it Picture Quote #1

My stroke of insight would be: peace is only a thought away, and all we have to do to access it is silence the voice of our dominating left mind Picture Quote #1

Speech may be silver but silence is golden. Traders with the golden touch do not talk about their success Picture Quote #1

If something controls you in a way that puzzles you, think of it as a mystery. Mysteries are best approached by closing your eyes and mouth to experience darkness and silence. I find new and healing images in that dark, silent place away from emotions that control me. Do not be afraid to close your eyes and be silent in prayer, meditation, rest or sleep. In those states you may rediscover a new self. Then your life, time and thoughts will become yours again and you can live your unique myth Picture Quote #1

Help me always to speak the truth quietly, to listen with an open mind when others speak, and to remember the peace that may be found in silence Picture Quote #1

Suppose that a person writes what she must. That is only the first step of becoming a writer. The work must survive the moment of creation. It must get out to an audience. She or he must dare to show the work. She must risk ridicule, misunderstanding, scandal, condemnation, and what’s often worse, none of the above: silence. No attention at all Picture Quote #1

If you don’t compromise your gift, if you write each day as well as you can, and then submit your work and not worry about it and go on to the next piece, you suddenly find oddly enough that you’re no more interested in the applause than the silence. You don’t hear either one of them. You can never listen to the naysayers. If you do you won’t survive Picture Quote #1

I only asked my friends to be friendly and polite, I found them indifferent and censorious; The one I left to silence, the other to reproach: God send me over all such friends victorious Picture Quote #1

I’m very interested in silence. And, more importantly, in what happens when people aren’t talking on stage. I’m interested in letting actors play and do things between the lines. And in slowing everything down Picture Quote #1

Children say they are unhappy in every language they have. They say it in silence, and they say it in riots Picture Quote #1

The losses of the natural world are our loss, their silence silences something within the human mind Picture Quote #1

I love to read, and I like the fact that there’s some silence in my life Picture Quote #1

He hears the silence howling catches angels as they fall, and the all time winner has got him by the fun Picture Quote #1
