My real log is written in the sea and sky; the sails talking with the rain and the stars amid the sounds of the sea, the silences full of secret things between my boat and me, like the times I spent as a child listening to the forest talk (The Silence Quotes)
I believe in love. And beauty. I believe that every single person has something they find beautiful and that they truly love. The smell of their child’s hair, the silence of a forest, their lover’s crooked grin. Their country, their religion, their family. And I believe that if you follow this love all the way to its end, if you start with the thing you find most beautiful and trace it’s perfume back to its essence, you will perceive an intangible presence, a swath of stillness that allows the thing you love to be visible like the openness of the sky reveals the presence of the moon (The Silence Quotes)

I found that my wounds begin to heal when the voices of those endangered by silence are given power.

The gift of light, in our compassion, our listening, our works of love is the gift of life to ourselves (The Silence Quotes)
The best justification governments can find to shut down information is that lives are at risk. In fact, lives have been at risk as a result of the silences and lies revealed in these leaks (The Silence Quotes)
Then I felt that every inflection of my voice, every word in my mouth, was a lie, a play whose sole purpose was to cover emptiness and boredom. There was only one way I could avoid a state of despair and a breakdown. To be silent. And to reach behind the silence for clarity or at least try to collect the resources that might still be available to me (The Silence Quotes)
Without the silence that follows the chants, you get only half the story. It’s like the climax of a good story. The silence is there because it exists in the music. It just needs to be exposed and acknowledged (The Silence Quotes)
Listen to the silence. Listen to your life. Be present, not just think about what’s going on next week, next month (The Silence Quotes)
Reduce intellectual and emotional noise until you arrive at the silence of yourselfand listen to it (The Silence Quotes)
It was one of those somber evenings when the sighing of the wind resembles the moans of a dying man; a storm was brewing, and between the splashes of rain on the windows there was the silence of death. All nature suffers in such moments; the trees writhe in pain and twist their heads; the birds of the fields cower under the bushes; the streets of cities are deserted (The Silence Quotes)
I think that all the silence is worse than all the violence. Fear is such a weak emotion, that’s why I despise it. We’re scared of almost everything, afraid to even tell the truth. So scared of what you think of me, I’m scared of even telling you (The Silence Quotes)
If you don’t compromise your gift, if you write each day as well as you can, and then submit your work and not worry about it and go on to the next piece, you suddenly find oddly enough that you’re no more interested in the applause than the silence. You don’t hear either one of them. You can never listen to the naysayers. If you do you won’t survive (The Silence Quotes)
He hears the silence howling catches angels as they fall, and the all time winner has got him by the fun (The Silence Quotes)
In the silence of a midwinter dusk, there is a sound so faint that for all you can tell it may be only the sound of the silence itself. You hold your breath to listen. You are aware of the beating of your heart. The extraordinary thing that is about to happen is matched only by the extraordinary moment just before it happens. Advent is the name of that moment (The Silence Quotes)
The silence is there within us. What we have to do is to enter into it, to become silent, to become the silence. The purpose of meditation and the challenge of meditation is to allow ourselves to become silent enough to allow this interior silence to emerge. Silence is the language of the spirit (The Silence Quotes)
The silence of a friend commonly amounts to treachery. His not daring to say anything in our behalf implies a tacit censure (The Silence Quotes)
If you cannot bear the silence and the darkness, do not go there; if you dislike black night and yawning chasms, never make them your profession. If you fear the sound of water hurrying through crevices toward unknown and mysterious destinations, do not consider it. Seek out the sunshine. It is a simple prescription. Avoid the darkness (The Silence Quotes)
One might say I have decided to marry the silence of the forest. The sweet dark warmth of the whole world will have to be my wife (The Silence Quotes)
If the fruit is green it will not fall to the ground even if you beat it with a sharp stick. When it is ripe it falls of its own accord in the silence of the night (The Silence Quotes)
Pay more attention to the silence than to the sounds. Paying attention to outer silence creates inner silence: the mind becomes still. A portal is opening up (The Silence Quotes)
Abuse of any kind thrives off secrecy. I felt like if I started talking about it, maybe other people would. I wanted to break the silence. Now I feel I’m in a much better place emotionally than I’ve ever been anytime in my life (The Silence Quotes)
Now and then we hear the wilder voices of the wilderness, from animals that in the hours of darkness do not fear the neighborhood of man: the coyotes wail like dismal ventriloquists, or the silence may be broken by the snorting and stamping of a deer (The Silence Quotes)
I’ve come to the conclusion that athletes, when they say they miss the crowd, are not missing the sound of the crowd. What they’re missing is the feeling inside that makes the crowd roar. It’s not the roar of the crowd, it’s the silence inside (The Silence Quotes)
I drop in from the sky disturbing the silence only momentarily, then leaving the ancient land once more to converse with the sky. It’s my home and all I need (The Silence Quotes)

That’s all that death is... Just a going away into another country... Only the separation is harder to bear because there can be no letters to bridge the silence (The Silence Quotes)
