Silence Speech Silence Is

More From Ralph Waldo Emerson

Silence is never-ending speech. vocal speech obstructs the other speech of silence. in silence one is in intimate contact with the surroundings. language is only a medium for communicating one's thoughts to another. silence is ever speaking.
Silence Speech Language
Words stand between silence and silence: between the silence of things and the silence of our own being. between the silence of the world and the silence of god. when we have really met and known the world in silence, words do not separate us from the world nor from other men, nor from god, nor from ourselves because we no longer trust entirely in language to contain reality.
Reality Men Silence
Silence is difficult and arduous; it is not to be played with. it isn't something that you can experience by reading a book, or by listening to a talk, or by sitting together, or by retiring into a wood or a monastery. i am afraid none of these things will bring about this silence. this silence demands intense psychological work. you have to be burningly aware - aware of your speech, aware of your snobbishness, aware of your fears, your anxieties, your sense of guilt. and when you die to all that, then out of that dying comes the beauty of silence.
Book Reading Silence
All profound things, and emotions of things are preceded and attended by silence... silence is the general consecration of the universe. silence is the invisible laying on of the divine pontiff's hands upon the world. silence is at once the most harmless and the most awful thing in all nature. it speaks of the reserved forces of fate. silence is the only voice of our god.
Fate Hands Voice
Silence is something more than just a pause; it is that enchanted place where space is cleared and time is stayed and the horizon itself expands. in silence, we often say, we can hear ourselves think; but what is truer to say is that in silence we can hear ourselves not think....in silence, we might better say, we can hear someone else think.
Faith Inspiration Thinking
Right at this moment, i only want silence. i believe that the end of life is silence in the love people have for you. i've actually been running through what people have said about the end. religion says that the end is one thing, because it serves their purpose. but great thinkers alike haven't always agreed. shakespeare knew how to say it better than anyone else. hamlet says 'the rest is silence.' and when you think of the noises of everyday life, you realize how particularly desirable that is. silence.
