The grass and coloured clay More motion have than they, Joined to the great sunk silences.

I have to be honest with you. Islam is on very thin ice with me....Through our screaming self-pity and our conspicuous silences, we Muslims are conspiring against ourselves. We're in crisis and we're dragging the rest of the world with us. If ever there was a moment for an Islamic reformation, it's now. For the love of God, what are we doing about it?

It takes more time and effort and delicacy to learn the silence of a people than to learn its sounds. Some people have a special gift for this. Perhaps this explains why some missionaries, notwithstanding their efforts, never come to speak properly, to communicate delicately through silences. Although they speak with the accent of natives they remain forever thousands of miles away. The learning of the grammar of silence is an art much more difficult to learn than the grammar of sounds.

Nature's music is never over; her silences are pauses, not conclusions.

I shall state silences more competently than ever a better man spangled the butterflies of vertigo.

A leader must be constantly aware of the power of his words .... and his silences.

Death unites as well as separates; it silences all paltry feeling.

In love, we worry more about the meaning of silences than the meaning of words.

An now the silences come in a single lifetime, in a single year... when species die, leaving a silent space in the world song that can never be filled.
