...from politics, it was an easy step to silence.
In order to remain silent Da-sein must have something to say.
To talk well and eloquently is a very great art, but that an equally great one is to know the right moment to stop.
Pierrette, like all those who suffer more than they have strength to bear, kept silence. Silence is the only weapon by which such victims can conquer; it baffles the Cossack charges of envy, the savage skirmishings of suspicion; it does at times give victory, crushing and complete, for what is more complete than silence? It is absolute; it is one of the attributes of infinity.
I like not only to be loved, but also to be told that I am loved. I am not sure that you are of the same kind. But the realm of silence is large enough beyond the grave. This is the world of light and speech, and I shall take leave to tell you that you are very dear.
Death unites as well as separates; it silences all paltry feeling.
When little is done, little is said; silence is the mother of truth.
Silence is the only answer you should give to the fools. Where ignorance speaks, intelligence should not give advices.
The point is that when I see a sunset or a waterfall or something, for a split second it's so great, because for a little bit I'm out of my brain, and it's got nothing to do with me. I'm not trying to figure it out, you know what I mean? And I wonder if I can somehow find a way to maintain that mind stillness.
Silence is the virtue of a fool.
