Thomas Carlyle

When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs. When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence.

George Eliot

You can never get silence anywhere nowadays, have you noticed?

You hesitate to stab me with a word, and know not - silence is the sharper sword.

Your silence will not protect you.
Audre Lorde
