“Conversation in its true meaning isn't all wagging the tongue; sometimes it is a deeply shared silence.”

“I am the one who has felt most deeply the stuttering of the tongue in its relation to thought.”

“A nervous silence loosens tongues”

“A person’s true means of expression is his life. Living the shame of life and maintaining silence, that was the greatest accomplishment of all.”

“Silence isn't golden and it surely doesn't mean consent, so start practicing the art of communication.”

“Nowadays silence is looked on as odd and most of my race has forgotten the beauty of meaning much by saying little. Now tongues work all day by themselves with no help from the mind.”

“true love is like religion, it hath its silence and its sanctity.”

“Silence can ask all the questions, where the tongue is prone to ask only the wrong one.”

“Well, well, perhaps I am a bit of a talker. A popular fellow such as I am — my friends get round me — we chaff, we sparkle, we tell witty stories — and somehow my tongue gets wagging. I have the gift of conversation. I’ve been told I ought to have a salon, whatever that may be.”

“Just because something didn't happen doesn't mean it isn't true.”
