It's time for women to make their voices heard. Their silence on the subject of war and peace is deafening.
Helen Thomas
It's very important in life to know when to shut up. You should not be afraid of silence.
Alex Trebek
Jack Benny was, without a doubt, the bravest comedian I have ever seen work. He wasn't afraid of silence. He would take as long as it took to tell the story.
Bob Newhart
Keep silence for the most part, and speak only when you must, and then briefly.
Epictetus
Language can only deal meaningfully with a special, restricted segment of reality. The rest, and it is presumably the much larger part, is silence.
George Steiner
Learn to get in touch with the silence within yourself, and know that everything in life has purpose. There are no mistakes, no coincidences, all events are blessings given to us to learn from.
Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
Let the veil of silence fall presently over what happened afterwards. Silence, too, can speak out.
Lech Walesa
Listen to the sound of silence.
Paul Simon
Literature is the expression of a feeling of deprivation, a recourse against a sense of something missing. But the contrary is also true: language is what makes us human. It is a recourse against the meaningless noise and silence of nature and history.
Octavio Paz
Love is not a fire to be shut up in a soul. Everything betrays us: voice, silence, eyes; half-covered fires burn all the brighter.
Jean Racine
Lying is done with words and also with silence.
Adrienne Rich
Much talking is the cause of danger. Silence is the means of avoiding misfortune. The talkative parrot is shut up in a cage. Other birds, without speech, fly freely about.
Saskya Pandita
Music and silence combine strongly because music is done with silence, and silence is full of music.
Marcel Marceau
Music is the silence between the notes.
Claude Debussy
My first college roommate greeted me with a shocked silence followed by, 'So... you're black.'
Al Roker
My hope and prayer is that the body of Christ in America will awake with holy boldness, a boldness content neither with silence nor mere words but that backs up those words with action and results.
Frank R. Wolf
My personal hobbies are reading, listening to music, and silence.
Edith Sitwell
My voice went recently, never happened before, off like a tap. I had to sit in silence for nine days, chalkboard around my neck. Like an old-school mime. Like a kid in the naughty corner. Like a Victorian mute.
Adele
Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life; define yourself.
Harvey Fierstein
Never forget the power of silence, that massively disconcerting pause which goes on and on and may at last induce an opponent to babble and backtrack nervously.
Lance Morrow
