Quotes About Silence

We don't talk, we just catch fire instead.
~ Mathias Malzieu

Allez, venez vous enfoncer dans ma bouche, je suis vide, j'ai de la place. Hantez, faîtes comme chez vous ! Brillez !

Silence is pain. But it is a pain with an exit route. When we can't speak, we can write. When we can't write, we can read. When we can't read, we can listen. Words are seeds. Language is a way back to life. And it is sometimes the most vital comfort we have.
