Arp, Jean

46.
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.

Illich, Ivan

47.
Silence is the universal refuge, the sequel to all dull discourses and all foolish acts, a balm to our every chagrin, as welcome after satiety as after disappointment; that background which the painter may not daub, be he master or bungler, and which, however awkward a figure we may have made in the foreground, remains ever our inviolable asylum, where no indignity can assail, no personality can disturb us.
Thoreau, Henry David

It is a great thing to know the season for speech and the season for silence.
Seneca

49.

Bible

There are grammatical errors even in his silence.
