I write for those women who do not speak, for those who do not have a voice because they were so terrified, because we are taught to respect fear more than ourselves. We've been taught that silence would save us, but it won't.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Silence is an ornament for women.
When we speak we are afraid our words will not be heard or welcomed. But when we are silent, we are still afraid. So it is better to speak.
Silence is one of the great arts of conversation.
Silence is as deep as eternity, speech a shallow as time.
I'm grateful that, after an early life of being silenced, sometimes violently, I grew up to have a voice, circumstances that will always bind me to the rights of the voiceless.
In some causes silence is dangerous.
A voice is a human gift; it should be cherished and used, to utter fully human speech as possible. Powerlessness and silence go together.
Silence is only frightening to people who are compulsively verbalizing.
Silence is safer than speech.
There is a lot of silence in me, and I feel that silence is often better than spoken words.
