Music is the silence between the notes.

Even in the most beautiful music there are some silences, which are there so we can witness the importance of silence.

Silences have a climax, when you have got to speak.

I need complete silence when I write.

I don't know what silence sounds like anymore.

Music and silence combine strongly because music is done with silence, and silence is full of music.

There are some long silences in Scandinavian and some Japanese films, when the audience knows action is taking place, but the audience hears no action.

Silence remains, inescapably, a form of speech.

Silence is the element in which great things fashion themselves together; that at length they may emerge, full-formed and majestic, into the delight of life, which they are thenceforth to rule.
