Silent

Famous quotes containing the word silent:

“A puff of wind, a puff faint and tepid and laden with strange odours of blossoms, of aromatic wood, comes out the still night—the first sigh of the East on my face. That I can never forget. It was impalpable and enslaving, like a charm, like a whispered promise of mysterious delight.... The mysterious East faced me, perfumed like a flower, silent like death, dark like a grave.”
—Joseph Conrad (1857–1924)

“Great things demand that we either remain silent about them or speak in a great manner: in a great manner, that is—cynically and with innocence.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

“The silent majority distrusts people who believe in causes.”
—Brian Moore (b. 1921)
