"Silence is audible to all people, at all times, and in all places. She is when we hear inwardly, sound when we hear outwardly . . . Sounds are a faint utterance of Silence . . . They are heighteners and intensifiers of the Silence . . . Silence is truth's speaking trumpet, the sole oracle, the true Delphi, which kings and courtiers would do well to consult . . . For through Silence all revelations have been made, and just in proportion as people have consulted her oracle within, they have obtained clear insight."
Henry David Thoreau
