I have a big problem with piped music. I like either silence or to listen to it properly.

Nature's music is never over her silences are pauses not conclusions.

Music and silence combine strongly because music is done with silence and silence is full of music.

A painter paints his pictures on canvas. But musicians paint their pictures on silence. We provide the music and you provide the silence.

You can never get silence anywhere nowadays have you noticed?

After silence that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.

Choose silence of all virtues for by it you hear other men's imperfections and conceal your own.

To sin by silence when they should protest makes cowards of men.

When I talked to my medical friends about the strange silence on this subject in American medical magazines and textbooks I gained the impression that here was a subject tainted with Socialism or with feminine sentimentality for the poor.

Against the State against the Church against the silence of the medical profession against the whole machinery of dead institutions of the past the woman of today arises.
