When I sit in my silence and look at my mind, it is only questions of longing and control that emerge to agitate me, and this agitation is what keeps me from evolving forward.
- Elizabeth Gilbert
Nights when I need to sleep and you can't. Days when I want to talk and you won't. Hours when every noise you make interferes with my silence. Weeks when there is a buzzing in the air, and we both pretend we don't hear it.
- David Levithan

In the world I am
Always a stranger
I do not understand its language
It does not understand my silence
- Bei Dao
I have decided to leave Clea's last letter un-answered. I no longer wish to coerce anyone, to make promises, to think of life in terms of compacts, resolutions, covenants. It will be up to Clea to interpret my silence according to her own needs and desires, to come to me if she has need or not, as the case may be. Does not everything depend on our interpretation of the silence around us?
- Lawrence Durrell
She extended a hand that I didn't know how to take, so I broke its fingers with my silence.
- Jonathan Safran Foer
I wanted to pull the thread, unravel the scarf of my silence and start again from the beginning.
- Jonathan Safran Foer
I' was the last word I was able to speak aloud. I wanted to pull the thread, unravel the scarf of my silence and start again from the beginning, but instead I said, 'I.' I know I'm not alone in this disease, you hear the old people in the street and some of them are moaning, "Ay yay yay," but some of them are clinging to their last word, 'I,' they're saying, because they're desperate, it's not a complaint it's a prayer, and then I lost 'I' and my silence was complete.
- Jonathan Safran Foer
My silence was not a lack of passion, but an inability to even draw a breath.
- Lauren Gallagher
I am not the Bird of Love I once thought I was. But my silence suggests I may be the Pterodactyl of Love.
- Jarod Kintz
I believe that God is in me as the sun is in the colour and fragrance of a flower - the Light in my darkness, the Voice in my silence.
- Helen Keller
I will tell no one what I know of the two of you. But I would ask one small price for my silence. (Damien)
And that is? (Rowena)
If you still believe in God, then say a prayer for me. He turned a deaf ear to my pleas long ago. (Damien)
- Kinley Macgregor
I continued to protect him with my silence.
- Joyce Maynard
I always believed that my silence on several topics will be an advantage in the long run.
- Aishwarya Rai
May my silences become more accurate.
- Theodore Roethke
If I maintain my silence about my secret it is my prisoner...if I let it slip from my tongue, I am ITS prisoner.
- Arthur Schopenhauer
But when I am around strangers, I turn into a conversational Mount St. Helens. I'm dormant, dormant, quiet, quiet, old-guy loners build log cabins on the slopes of my silence and then, boom, it's 1980. Once I erupt, they'll be wiping my verbal ashes off their windshields as far away as North Dakota.
