Silences, as every observer knows, have strange characteristics all their own - passionate silences, and hateful silences, and silences full of friendly, purring content.

Alice Duer Miller

As someone who gets nervous in silences, I spill words rather than really think.

Eddie Redmayne

The long silences need to be loved, perhaps more than the words which arrive to describe them in time.

Franz Wright

Years of cooking have taught me that the harder a flour is, the 'thirstier' it is. In other words, harder flours tend to have a greater capacity to absorb water than their softer counterparts.

Samin Nosrat

In love, we worry more about the meaning of silences than the meaning of words.

Mason Cooley

To listen fully means to pay close attention to what is being said beneath the words. You listen not only to the 'music,' but to the essence of the person speaking. You listen not only for what someone knows, but for what he or she is. Ears operate at the speed of sound, which is far slower than the speed of light the eyes take in. Generative listening is the art of developing deeper silences in yourself, so you can slow our mind's hearing to your ears' natural speed, and hear beneath the words to their meaning.

Peter Senge

In the silences I make in the midst of the turmoil of life I have appointments with God. From these silences I come forth with spirit refreshed, and with a renewed sense of power. I hear a voice in the silences, and become increasingly aware that it is the voice of God.

David Brainerd

Don't look for meaning in the words. Listen to the silences.

Samuel Beckett

Listen into the silences where the best words begin.

Marilyn Chandler McEntyre

Life's disappointments are harder to take when you don't know any swear words.

Bill Watterson

...choosing words is harder than I thought.

Cynthia Lord

Sometimes words are harder than blows.

Zinedine Zidane

My actions speak harder than words.

Marcus Smart

You don't have to be 'adults'... but be someone who can take responsibility for their own words and actions. Believe it or not, that's actually harder.

Natsuki Takaya

The silences express so much and are so crucial in music, and prose does not allow for the creation of these silences, these white spaces on the page or the computer screen.

Pattiann Rogers

I train harder than anyone else in the world. Last year I was supposed to take a month off and I took three days off because I was afraid somebody out there was training harder. That's the feeling I go through every day - Am I not doing what somebody else is doing? Is someone out there training harder than I am? I can't live with myself if someone is.
