“The talk is in your world. In mine – there is eternal silence. My silence sings, my emptiness is full. I lack nothing. You cannot know my world until you are there.”

“"Fools," said I, "you do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you"
But my words like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence.”

“i fear no fate(for you are my fate, my sweet)i want no world(for beautiful you are my world, my true) and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you here is the deepest secret nobody knows”

“I know the outer world as well as you do, and I judge it. You know nothing of my inner world, and yet you presume to judge that world.”

“my hands dead
my heart dead
silence
adagio of rocks
the world ablaze
that's the best
for me.”

“My silences he mistook for a lack of wit rather than a lack of any need to speak.”

“There was no emotion in my blood. There was no anger. There was nothing. It was dead silence in my brain.”

“My love, I fear the silence of your hands.”

“At that moment I was sure. That I belonged in my skin. That my organs were mine and my eyes were mine and my ears, which could only hear the silence of this night and my faint breathing, were mine, and I loved them and what they could do.”

“I need silence, and to be alone and to go out, and to save one hour
to consider what has happened to my world, what death has done to my
world.”
