I think television has betrayed the meaning of democratic speech, adding visual chaos to the confusion of voices. What role does silence have in all this noise?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Silence is not what democracy needs. Right now we have an election where, even the supporters of Hillary Clinton, the majority don't support Hillary; they just oppose Donald Trump. And the majority of Donald Trump supporters don't support him; they just oppose Hillary.
Speech is the small change of silence.
Silence remains, inescapably, a form of speech.
Silence may be as variously shaded as speech.
I don't know what silence sounds like anymore.
Many CEOs and leaders think that silence is indeed golden, that consensus is bliss. It is - sometimes. But more often what it signifies is that there are no respected processes for surfacing concerns and dissent.
Silence is as deep as eternity, speech a shallow as time.
Silence is also conversation.
Silence is ever speaking; it is the perennial flow of language.
Silence is sometimes the severest criticism.
