#on silence

[tamsoj]

The worst that can happen often happens in silence. It is not the explosion, but the aftermath, when you see through the smoke and ash, that you know how much you have lost.

Alice Hoffman, The Invisible Hour

A needle falls. The silent voice of night. Quiet does not mean soundless. It is quiet, nesting within sound. Silence gathers behind one’s back. One hears the sound of one’s own breathing.

Geetanjali Shree in, Tomb of Sand.

Not one person in a hundred knows how to be silent and listen, no, nor even to conceive what such a thing means. Yet only then can you detect, beyond the fatuous clamour, the silence of which the universe is made.

Samuel Beckett, Molloy

have had this piece by kirill medvedev stuck in my brain:

"for a long time I wanted

no one to know about me,

but then i wanted everyone to know about my anonymity

and for everyone to understand this as their punishment;"
