Silence. I am not intimidated by you. You comfort me and in you I find peace.

"Far from being the mere absence of sound, silence express what no words or sounds possibly could. The most memorable moments between lovers are made up of silences, and the quality of them reveals the quality of the love."

Stephan Kern, The Culture of Time and Space

"As gold and silver are weighed in pure water, so does the soul test its weight in silence, and the words that we let fall have no meaning apaart from the silence that wraps them around."

Maurice Maeterlinck, Belgian mystic writer
