I, schooled in misery, know many purifying rites, and I know where speech is proper and where silence.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Under all speech that is good for anything there lies a silence that is better, Silence is deep as Eternity; speech is shallow as Time.
In this sad world of ours, sorrow comes to all; and to the young, it comes with bitterest agony because it takes them unawares. I have had experience enough to know what I say.
Great souls suffer in silence.
Speech is the mirror of the soul.
Speech is a very important aspect of being human. A whisper doesn't cut it.
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.
Silence is as deep as eternity, speech a shallow as time.
Especially these days where everything is so polite and so proper, I think that rites of passage are good.
Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent.
Silence remains, inescapably, a form of speech.
