One of the greatest sounds of them all - and to me it is a sound - is utter, complete silence

Everybody should have his personal sounds to listen for - sounds that will make him exhilarated and alive or quiet and calm

The conductor has the advantage of not seeing the audience.

When the conspiracy of lies surrounding me demands of me to silence the one word of truth given to me, that word becomes the one word I wish to utter above all others.

There was a brief silence. I think I heard snow falling.

Silence is so accurate.
