“A thing, until it is everything, is noise, and once it is everything it is silence.”

“Time has been called God's way of making sure that everything doesn't happen at once. In the same spirit, noise is Nature's way of making sure that we don't find out everything that happens. Noise, in short, is the protector of information.”

“Everything was so quiet, as if the silence was listening.”

“There is beauty in everything, even in silence and darkness.”

“Everything, everything seemed once-upon-a-time.”

“Not everything is about beating your head against the wall until it breaks.”
“Just most things.”

“Everything in life is speaking in spite of its apparent silence.”

“The silence depressed me. It wasn't the silence of silence. It was my own silence. I knew perfectly well the cars were making a noise, and the people in them and behind the lit windows of the buildings were making a noise, and the river was making a noise, but I couldn't hear a thing. The city hung in my window, flat as a poster, glittering and blinking, but it might just as well not have been there at all, for the good it did me.”

“Does not everything depend on our interpretation of the silence around us?”

“Once you realize what a joke everything is, being the Comedian is the only thing that makes sense.”
