Silence

 To me sometimes a mute sky is more expressive than the roaring sea.
~ Munia Khan

Sometimes being overwhelmed by emotions can leave you speechless but even then it is important to identify the correct emotion.
~ Sam Owen

You tend to write because your heart holds million unspoken words, writing is your only way to heal your own soul!

Maya was crying and she couldn't say anything, not because she didn't know what to say, but because there was too much of it.
~ Robin Benway, Far from the Tree

When you want to see great art look deep into nature. You will see the grass, clouds, plants, flowers, trees, mountains, valleys, rivers and the seas. You will see art that will leave you speechless! And this art is created by nature.
~ Avijeet Das

Sometimes the silence of your friends is worse than your enemy's words.

Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing
and rightdoing there is a field.
I'll meet you there.

When the soul lies down in that grass
the world is too full to talk about.
~ Rumi

We sit silently and watch the world around us. This has taken a lifetime to learn. It seems only the old are able to sit next to one another and not say anything and still feel content. The young, brash and impatient, must always break the silence. It is a waste, for silence is pure. Silence is holy. It draws people together because only those who are comfortable with each other can sit without speaking. This is the great paradox.
~ Nicholas Sparks, The Notebook

I've begun to realize that you can listen to silence and learn from it. It has a quality and a dimension all its own.
~ Chaim Potok, The Chosen 

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
No one dared
Disturb the sound of silence
~ Paul Simon

We went down into the silent garden. Dawn is the time when nothing breathes, the hour of silence. Everything is transfixed, only the light moves.
~ Leonora Carrington

Silence is so freaking loud.
~ Sarah Dessen, Just Listen

“I don't think..." then you shouldn't talk, said the Hatter.
~ Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland

When I pronounce the word Future,
the first syllable already belongs to the past.

When I pronounce the word Silence,
I destroy it.
~ Wisława Szymborska, Poems New and Collected

Your silence will not protect you.
~ Audre Lorde, Sister Outsider: Essays and Speeches

I decided it is better to scream. Silence is the real crime against humanity.
~ Nadezhda Mandelstam, Hope Against Hope
