A voice is a human gift; it should be cherished and used, to utter fully human speech as possible. Powerlessness and silence go together.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Never let anyone silence your voice.
Silence is as deep as eternity, speech a shallow as time.
Speech is the small change of silence.
Silence remains, inescapably, a form of speech.
I don't know if I have a voice of my own. I don't see me being an important person with something to say. I haven't. I've got nothing to say. My opinion is of no consequence or value.
My voice is not going to be silenced by anybody.
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.
Speech is a very important aspect of being human. A whisper doesn't cut it.
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.
When the whole world is silent, even one voice becomes powerful.
