صمت

“We sit silently and watch the world around us. This has taken a lifetime to learn. It seems only the old are able to sit next to one another and not say anything and still feel content. The young, brash and impatient, must always break the silence. It is a waste, for silence is pure. Silence is holy. It draws people together because only those who are comfortable with each other can sit without speaking. This is the great paradox.”
― Nicholas Sparks, The Notebook

“أحيانًا يساعدنا الآخرون بأن يكونوا فى حياتنا فحسب”
― أحمد خالد توفيق

“I don't want to be married just to be married. I can't think of anything lonelier than spending the rest of my life with someone I can't talk to, or worse, someone I can't be silent with.”
― Mary Ann Shaffer, The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society

“الحياة موكب عظيم , ينظر إليه بطئ الخطى فيحسبه سريعا جدا ولذلك يهرب منه , وينظر إليه سريع الخطى فيحسبه بطيئا ويهرب منه..... قد تعلمت الصمت من الثرثار , والتساهل من المتعصب , واللطف من الغليظ , والأغرب من كل هذا أنني لا اعترف بجميل هؤلاء المعلمين”
