It is not difficult to deprive the great majority of independent thought. But the minority who will retain an inclination to criticize must also be silenced...

I was silent as a child, and silenced as a young woman; I am taking my lumps and bumps for being a big mouth, now, but usually from those whose opinion I don’t respect Picture Quote #1

Oppression does not make for hearts as big as all outdoors. Oppression makes us big and small. Expressive and silenced. Deep and dead Picture Quote #1

A sickening howl stopped her, sucking the air out of her lungs. The night’s chatter silenced, even the loitering city rats pausing to listen. Scarlet had heard wild wolves before, prowling the countryside in search of easy prey on the farms. But never had a wolf’s howl send a chill down her spine like that Picture Quote #1

If, after a rigid examination, it be found an imposition, it should be extensively published to the world as such; the evidences and arguments on which the imposture was detected, should be clearly and logically stated, that those who have been sincerely yet unfortunately deceived, may perceive the nature of the deception and be reclaimed, and that those who continue to publish the delusion, may be exposed and silenced Picture Quote #1

My singing silenced the bullies, but better than that, it silenced the demons inside me. When you’re jeered at, told to shut up, sit still, stop being silly, there’s a cacophony of noise rolling around in your head. When I was singing, it was peaceful Picture Quote #1

I think to be in exile is a curse, and you need to turn it into a blessing. Youve been thrown into exile to die, really, to silence you so that your voice cannot come home. And so my whole life has been dedicated to saying, I will not be silenced Picture Quote #1

When journalism is silenced, literature must speak. Because while journalism speaks with facts, literature speaks with truth Picture Quote #1

Well, the tyranny of masculinity and the tyranny of patriarchy I think has been much more deadly to men than it has to women. It hasn’t killed our hearts. It’s killed men’s hearts. It’s silenced them; it’s cut them off Picture Quote #1

Never let your soul be silenced. Live life out loud. Every day tell your truth not with words but with actions from your heart Picture Quote #1

Genuine bravery for a writer... It is about calmly speaking the truth when everyone else is silenced, when the truth cannot be expressed. It is about speaking out with a different voice, risking the wrath of the state and offending everyone, for the sake of the truth, and the writer’s conscience Picture Quote #1
