If in physics there's something you don't understand, you can always hide behind the uncharted depths of nature. You can always blame God. You didn't make it so complex yourself. But if your program doesn't work, there is no one to hide behind. You cannot hide behind an obstinate nature. If it doesn't work, you've messed up.

Edsger Dijkstra

You can't hide behind race any more. You can't hide behind class structure any more. You can't hide behind family. You need to produce.

I prefer silence. Then you can hear thoughts and see into the past. In silence you can’t hide anything … as you can in words.

August Strindberg

These two are the parts. The inner silence - the silence so deep that there is no vibration in your being. You are, but there are no waves. You are just a pool without waves, not a single wave arises. The whole being silent, still. Inside, at the center, silence, and on the periphery, celebration and laughter. And only silence can laugh, because only silence can understand the cosmic joke.

Rajneesh

Let people hide in their homes, caged like chickens. Cowards deserve no better.
