Hush Quotations
Hush! Check those words. Do not cure ill with ill and make your pain still heavier than it is.
Sophocles
The reader becomes God, for all textual purposes. I see your eyes glazing over, so I'll hush.
David Foster Wallace
A hush is over everything, Silent as women wait for love; The world is waiting for the spring.
Sara Teasdale

James Cameron

Charles Edwards
If nobody said anything unless he knew what he was talking about, a ghastly hush would descend upon the earth.
Alan Patrick Herbert
