A great silence is spreading over the natural world even as the sound of man is becoming deafening.

Bernie Krause

Silence is Golden; it has divine power and immense energy. Try to pay more attention to the silence than to the sounds. Paying attention to outer silence creates inner silence: the mind becomes still. Every sound is born out of silence, dies back into silence, and during its life span is surrounded by silence. Silence enables the sound to be. It is an intrinsic but unmanifested part of every sound, every musical note, every song, and every word. The unmanifested is present in this world as silence. All you have to do is pay attention to it.

Eckhart Tolle

If sound is music and came from silence, then silence is potentially greater than sound. If the sound is effective, it should actually have a chemical - some sort of physiological - effect on the listener, so he doesn't have to hear that sound again.

Keith Jarrett

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

As Christians try to force prayer into public schools, they often settle for a 'moment of silence.' But that supposedly innocuous 'moment of silence' is a deafening roar to a nonbeliever.

Judith Hayes

I've heard a hundred different variations of instances of unadulterated female victimhood, yet the silence of the feminists is deafening. Where two pieties--feminism and multi-culturalism--come into conflict, the only way of preserving both is an indecent silence.

Theodore Dalrymple

Our silence is deafening and deadly.

James Brown

The silence caused by politicizing speech is deafening.

Pete Hoekstra

When a woman who has much to say says nothing, her silence can be deafening.

Margaret Landon

If music is sound & came from silence, then silence is potentially greater than sound.

Keith Jarrett

It's time for women to make their voices heard. Their silence on the subject of war and peace is deafening.

Helen Thomas

Words stand between silence and silence: between the silence of things and the silence of our own being. Between the silence of the world and the silence of God. When we have really met and known the world in silence, words do not separate us from the world nor from other men, nor from God, nor from ourselves because we no longer trust entirely in language to contain reality.

Thomas Merton

Not one sound fears the silence that extinguishes it. And no silence exists that is not pregnant with sound.

John Cage

I hate holidays because it's the quietest; it's the most deafening sound in my apartment.

Questlove

There is a silence where hath been no sound, There is a silence where no sound may be,- In the cold grave, under the deep, deep sea, Or in the wide desert where no life is found.

Thomas Hood

Music is pleasing not only because of the sound but because of the silence that is in it: without the alternation of sound and silence there would be no rhythm.

Thomas Merton
