"People don't want to hear any more words. In our mechanical age, all words have become alike, they've all been reduced to the level of the commercial. To say 'God is love' is like saying 'Eat Wheaties.' Things come through on the same wavelength . . . Silence, on the other hand, really does speak to people."
Thomas Merton
Trappist monk
