Citater om silence

He who does not understand your silence will probably not understand your words.
I have learned silence from the talkative, toleration from the intolerant, and kindness from the unkind; yet, strange, I am ungrateful to those teachers.
Only when you drink from the river of silence shall you indeed sing. And when you have reached the mountain top, then you shall begin to climb. And when the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance.
I wash my hands of those who imagine chattering to be knowledge, silence to be ignorance, and affection to be art.
