“When words are many, sin is not absent, but he who holds his tongue is wise” (Prov. 10:19). “A man of knowledge uses words with restraint” (Prov. 17:27).

“Don’t talk, unless you can improve upon the silence.”
– Jorge Luis Borges
– Jorge Luis Borges
Only silence enables us to say something unheard of. The compulsion of communication, by contrast, leads to the reproduction of the same, to conformism: So it’s not a problem of getting people to express themselves but of providing little gaps of solitude and silence in which they might eventually find something to say.
~ Gilles Deleuze
