sound of silence

In human intercourse the tragedy begins, not when there is misunderstanding about words, but when silence is not understood. Henry David Thoreau

Than a book of scriptures
Silence displays itself more

In the court of God almighty
Silence is the only judgment.


Silence is deeper than ocean
Speech fades away with life
Speech hurts like a hammer
But silence cuts like a knife. - Vasant Khisty
