Men Silence Coward

More From Abraham Lincoln

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
Each man must not think only of himself, but also of his buddy fighting beside him. we don't want yellow cowards in this army. they should be killed off like rats. if not, they will go home after this war and breed more cowards. the brave men will breed more brave men. kill off the goddamned cowards and we will have a nation of brave men.
War Home Army
It is thus that mutual cowardice keeps us in peace. were one half of mankind brave and one cowards, the brave would be always beating the cowards. were all brave, they would lead a very uneasy life; all would be continually fighting; but being all cowards, we go on very well.
Fighting Brave Coward
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
Preventing war is much better than protesting against the war. protesting the war is too late.
War Too Late Preventing
My desires are foolish. the things i want are better kept to myself. the hand of silence is steady. the hard blade of silence is clean like night. the code is absolute. silence is eternal and patient. silence never makes a fool of itself like i have so many times.
Night Hands Silence

I used to play saturday night shows with different little groups. if i could get a show, i would do it. i used to do mad things - i used to go and do these shows and go on my knees and roll on the ground - when i was 15,16 years old. and my parents were extremely disapproving of it all. because it was just not done. this was for very low-class people, remember. rock & roll singers weren't educated people

There was no air; only the dead, still night fired by the dog days of august. not a breath. i had to suck in the same air i exhaled, cupping it in my hands before it escaped. i felt it, in and out, less each time…until it was so thin it slipped through my fingers forever. i mean, forever.
