Silence quotes
" A fair request should be followed by the deed in silence. "

Dante Alighieri
" Where I am, I don't know, I'll never know, in the silence you don't know, you must go on, I can't go on, I'll go on. "

Samuel Beckett
" Destiny is but a phrase of the weak human heart - the dark apology for every error. The strong and virtuous admit no destiny. On earth conscience guides; in heaven God watches. And destiny is but the phantom we invoke to silence the one and dethrone the other. "

Edward Bulwer-Lytton
" Speech is human, silence is divine, yet also brutish and dead: therefore we must learn both arts. "

Thomas Carlyle
" Under all speech that is good for anything there lies a silence that is better. Silence is deep as Eternity; speech is shallow as Time. "

Thomas Carlyle
" I mixed my music with my lions and tigers. When you've got two mother nature forces you can't control, then you've got to go with them. When a lion puts 18 stitches in your skull, man realizes he is nothing, when you paddle over 10-foot waves, study martial arts for 30 years, you understand silence. "

Dick Dale
" I visualized the reactions of children listening. Stunned silence here! So hold the pause for two, three, four. This line is a laugh, more than a giggle, so pause, two, three or their chuckles will drown the next line. I'm lucky to have forty years experience of stage comedy to back me up. "

Jim Dale
" Music is the silence between the notes. "

Claude Debussy
" If you ask him: "What is silence?" he will answer, "It is the Great Mystery! The holy silence is His voice!" If you ask: "What are the fruits of silence?" he will say: "They are self-control, true courage or endurance, patience, dignity, and reverence. Silence is the cornerstone of character." "

Charles Alexander Eastman
" Whenever women protest and ask for their rights, they are silenced with the argument that the laws are justified under Islam. It is an unfounded argument. It is not Islam at fault, but rather the patriarchal culture that uses its own interpretations to justify whatever it wants. "

Shirin Ebadi
" In the middle of the silence in a writer's house lies an invalid: the book being worked on. "

Richard Eder
" The desert has its holiness of silence, the crowd its holiness of conversation. "

Walter Elliot
" She would sit by herself in the middle of the old stoe amphitheatre, with the sky's starry vault overhead, and simply listen to the great silence around her. "

Michael Ende
" Ask a wise man to dinner and he'll upset everyone by his gloomy silence or tiresome questions. Invite him to a dance and you'll have a camel prancing about. Haul him off to a public entertainment and his face will be enough to spoil the people's entertainment. "

Desiderius Erasmus
" The silence of the grave gagged the living; people who had talked with his incarnate approval became sepulchrally mute. "
