Thomas à Kempis·1420

In silence and in stillness a devout soul maketh progress, and learneth the mysteries of Holy Scripture.

Thomas Merton·1958

Not all of us are called to be hermits, but all of us need enough silence and solitude to enable the deeper voice of our own self to be heard.

Walt Whitman·1860

After the dazzle of day is gone, only the dark, dark night shows to my eyes the stars; after the plain of the surface and the breakers have gone, the depths of the ocean show beautiful forms.
