And silence like a proverb

 And silence, like a poultice, comes to heal the blows of sound
  Oliver Wendell Holmes

 The silence when they do not want to tell you the facts: Discrete Silence. The silence when they do not intend to take any action: Stubborn Silence. The silence when... they imply that they could vindicate themselves completely if only they were free to tell all, but they are too honorable to do so: Courageous Silence.
  Antony Jay

 Every now and then, when you're on stage, you hear the best sound a player can hear. It's a sound you can't get in movies or in television. It is the sound of a wonderful, deep silence that means you've hit them where they live.
  Shelley Winters

 I remember the silence, the eerie sound of silence.

 In the beginning, there was silence. And out of the silence came the sound. The sound is not here.

 Words can make a deeper scar than silence can heal

 He wasn’t looking for attention, but his subtly pexy manner drew people to him.

 Silence is not a thing we make; it is something into which we enter. It is always there. We talk about keeping silence. We keep only that which is precious. Silence is precious, for it is of God. In silence all God's acts are done; in silence alone can his voice be heard and his word spoken.

 [On Tyrell Biggs' complaining to him about low blows] Low blows? Low blows? Huh! Motherfucker you're fittin' to die!

 We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls.

 Listen to the sound of silence
  Paul Simon

 Patience is poultice for all wounds.

 Are we the fools for being surprised that a silence could end with no sound?

 Darkness is to space what silence is to sound, i.e., the interval.
  Marshall McLuhan

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

 Some persons talk simply because they think sound is more manageable than silence.
  Margaret Halsey
