Silence, the essence found, in quotations & art.

All man's miseries derive from not being able

to sit quietly in a room alone.

Silence is for me a fount of healing which makes my life worth living.

Talking is often a torment for me,

and I need many days of silence to recover from the futility of words.

the delicate awareness of unreasoning things.

To heal the blows of sound.

Floodgate of the deeper heart.
