That silence is one of the great arts of conversation is allowed by Cicero himself, who says, there is not only an art, but even an eloquence in it

Hannah More

Silence is one great art of conversation. He is not a fool who knows when to hold his tongue; and a person may gain credit for sense, eloquence, wit, who merely says nothing to lessen the opinion which others have of these qualities in themselves.

William Hazlitt

In Silence there is eloquence.

Rumi

Silence, when nothing need be said, is the eloquence of discretion.

Christian Nestell Bovee

What manly eloquence could produce such an effect as woman's silence?

Jules Michelet

Well-timed silence hath more eloquence than speech.

Martin Farquhar Tupper

In Silence there is eloquence. Stop weaving and see how the pattern improves.

Rumi

The art form has to do with the mystery and the hidden invitation that's in the room. And that's when the magic happens, that's when the deep silence emerges to the surprise of all the attentively listening ears. In a way, you're following that silence. You go where the silence is deepest.

David Whyte

What I am seeking... is a motionless movement, something equivalent to what is called the eloquence of silence.

Joan Miro

I sense a Threshold: Light to Silence, Silence to Light - an ambiance of inspiration, in which the desire to be, to express, crosses with the possible Light to Silence, Silence to Light crosses in the sanctuary of art.

Louis Kahn

Film is really the one art form that can effectively use silence. Music and theater can play with silence, but they can't sustain silence without losing energy, whereas film can go into a silent mode and stay there for minutes at a time.

Walter Murch

In silence, we have an opportunity to reflect, listen, and gain new insights about ourselves. In silence, we can think, feel, and most important of all, breathe. When you seek guidance, understanding, clarity, or peace of mind, the first step is to master the art of silence and to rethink the value of solitude.

Iyanla Vanzant

There is not only an art, but an eloquence in it.

Marcus Tullius Cicero

I just don't think people get off on language anymore. Language used to be an elevated art. It used to be for people what music can be. But people don't learn to do that anymore, so eloquence is merely a matter of waste. Who needs a good vocabulary and proper English? Eloquence - it's dead and who needs it?

Kurt Vonnegut

Give me the clear blue sky over my head, and the green turf beneath my feet, a winding road before me, and a three hours' march to dinner - and then to thinking! ... I begin to feel, think, and be myself again. Instead of an awkward silence, broken by attempts at wit or dull common-places, mine is that undisturbed silence of the heart which alone is perfect eloquence.

William Hazlitt

Persuasive speech, and more persuasive sighs, Silence that spoke and eloquence of eyes.

Homer
