Silence

Solitude is a silent storm that breaks down all our dead branches;
yet it sends our living roots deeper into the living heart of the living
earth.

- Kahlil Gibran

Silence is always part of great music. Silence is always part of
great art. Silence is always part of great life.

- Robert Fulghum

Solitude, though it may be silent as light, is like light, the mightiest
of agencies; for solitude is essential to man. All men come into this
world alone and leave it alone.

- Thomas De Quincey
