Who tells a finer tale than any of us. Silence does.

Quotes by Jurnee Smollett-Bell

In the silence of night I have often wished for just a few words of love from one man, rather than the applause of thousands of people.

Quotes by Joyce Carol Oates

I continued to protect him with my silence.

Quotes by Joyce Maynard

The silence was part of the story I wanted to tell.

Quotes by Joyce Maynard

I always felt that, when I saw Denzel or Viola do scenes in their past films or past projects, that if it's a heavy scene, and it's requiring a lot of emotional weight, that we would have nothing but silence and incense burning in between takes just to keep things quiet.

Quotes by Jovan Adepo

'The Look of Silence' is able to have a wide public release, although still not in cinemas. It's distributed by two government bodies, the National Human Rights Commission and the Jakarta Arts Council.

Quotes by Joshua Oppenheimer

To put it crudely, 'The Act of Killing' would blast open the space for the more delicate film, 'The Look of Silence,' to do its work.

Quotes by Joshua Oppenheimer

I wanted to resist in 'The Look of Silence' making a film that ends with any kind of positive hope I feel in human rights documentaries dealing with human survivors.

Quotes by Joshua Oppenheimer

I can't imagine writing a novel without some sound. When you're facing a few hundred blank pages, silence can be cold.

Quotes by Josh Malerman

Silence is one of the hardest arguments to refute.

Quotes by Jonathan Demme

I'll tell you - what I can tell you is that I know when I saw 'Zodiac' and then again when I saw 'No Country For Old Men,' there was a moment in each of my viewing experiences where I went, 'Dammit, this is scarier than 'Silence Of The Lambs.''

Quotes by Jonathan Demme

And Silence of the Lambs is a really smart book.

Quotes by Jonathan Franzen

A good word is an easy obligation; but not to speak ill requires only our silence, which costs us nothing.

Quotes by John Tillotson

Only by going alone in silence, without baggage, can one truly get into the heart of the wilderness. All other travel is mere dust and hotels and baggage and chatter.

Quotes by John Muir

Thinking fascinates me, and I probably spend too much time in my mind. My wife says that my perfect world is to be in the Suburban driving, with her next to me and the boys in the back seat and complete silence for two thousand miles.

Quotes by John Larroquette

Theatre has had a very important role in changing South Africa. There was a time when all other channels of expression were closed that we were able to break the conspiracy of silence, to educate people inside South Africa and the outside world. We became the illegal newspaper.

Quotes by John Kani

Silence is best.

Quotes by John Hewson

I began observing, making paintings of my surroundings, taking a vow of silence, listening, composing music, writing, and making time for formal education. Then I started telling stories.

Quotes by John Francis

Ultimately when I gave up the use of motorized vehicles, I walked everywhere, from town to town, across states and two continents. When I stopped talking, I mean literally I stopped speaking. I took a complete vow of silence.

Quotes by John Francis

There is no such thing as an empty space or an empty time. There is always something to see, something to hear. In fact, try as we may to make a silence, we cannot.

Quotes by John Cage

Because in the school of the Spirit man learns wisdom through humility, knowledge by forgetting, how to speak by silence, how to live by dying.

Quotes by Johannes Tauler

In prayerful silence you must look into your own heart. No one can tell you better than yourself what comes between you and God. Ask yourself. Then listen!

Quotes by Johannes Tauler

I like to have space between the notes. I like to use silence.

Quotes by Johann Johannsson

Silence can be very effective, and it gives the music space to breathe.

Quotes by Johann Johannsson

One of the things I've always enjoyed is moving around and staying fit. Physicality is such a big part of being an actor, but it's also about stillness and silence.

Quotes by Joel Edgerton

New-Year's Day arriving, and the ministers, to whom I wrote, remaining silent, I consider their silence as evidence, that they cannot prove what I said not to be from the Lord, and have therefore published as I was directed.

Quotes by Joanna Southcott

Going across the Tannai Desert was one of the spookiest experiences I've ever had. Not driving during the day; that was fine. And so we camped in an old sort of truck siding, I think. And the silence. The eerie silence and then a dingo howling, and it was just so spooky. I didn't sleep all night.

Quotes by Joan Kirner

What I am looking for... is an immobile movement, something which would be the equivalent of what is called the eloquence of silence, or what St. John of the Cross, I think it was, described with the term 'mute music'.

Quotes by Joan Miro

A rat race is for rats. We're not rats. We're human beings. Reject the insidious pressures in society that would blunt your critical faculties to all that is happening around you, that would caution silence in the face of injustice lest you jeopardise your chances of promotion and self-advancement.

Quotes by Jimmy Reid

We want the game to be attractive to a new audience, but you have to be careful because there are certain traditions this game upholds. Silence over the swing, that's always been there. That's not understood by those who don't play golf.

Quotes by Jim Nantz

Silence is not what democracy needs. Right now we have an election where, even the supporters of Hillary Clinton, the majority don't support Hillary; they just oppose Donald Trump. And the majority of Donald Trump supporters don't support him; they just oppose Hillary.

Quotes by Jill Stein

It's one of the most basic laws of human nature, isn't it? The more we are denied something, the more we want it. The more silence given to this or that topic, the more power.

Quotes by Jill McCorkle

The opening of 'There Will Be Blood' with that score and then deafening silence was memorable.

Quotes by Jenny Scheinman

If you don't have anything nice to say... dead silence creates a lot awkwardness.

Quotes by Jeff Rich

Ever since I can remember, I hated silence. I wanted it filled with guitars and melodies to sing all day.

Quotes by Jeffree Star

It has taken Thomas Harris 11 years to publish the sequel to 'The Silence of the Lambs,' which suggests that while everyone was desperate to read it, he was not desperate to write it.

Quotes by Jeff Giles

A small silence came between us, as precise as a picture hanging on the wall.

Quotes by Jean Stafford

Soon silence will have passed into legend. Man has turned his back on silence. Day after day he invents machines and devices that increase noise and distract humanity from the essence of life, contemplation, meditation.

Quotes by Jean Arp

Silence moves faster when it's going backward.

Quotes by Jean Cocteau

Children say they are unhappy in every language they have. They say it in silence, and they say it in riots.

Quotes by Jay Griffiths

The losses of the natural world are our loss, their silence silences something within the human mind.

Quotes by Jay Griffiths

When you work for DC, it's sort of like working for the CIA. You have a vow of silence.

Quotes by Jason Fuchs

People feel really uncomfortable when there's silence.

Quotes by Jason Jones

I think music comes out of silence... and I have a lot of silent time, without a pesky guitar interrupting my thoughts.

Quotes by Jason Becker

If we don't bear witness as citizens, as people, as individuals, the right that we have had to life is sacrificed. There is a silence, instead of a speaking presence.

Quotes by Jane Rule

From politics, it was an easy step to silence.

Jane Austen

What I have experienced, and experienced repeatedly, is the silence of God. For many years, this was a distressing matter for me. I did not consider it an experience, but the absence of an experience.

Quotes by James P. Carse

When holiness is achieved by conforming to God's will, one knows intuitively that which is wrong and that which is right before the Lord. Holiness speaks when there is silence, encouraging that which is good or reproving that which is wrong.

Quotes by James E. Faust

Everything is Song. Everything is Silence. Since it all turns out to be illusion, perfectly being what it is, having nothing to do with good or bad, you are free to die laughing.

Quotes by James Broughton

Some comics have long routines to get them in the mood - I just prefer to sit down, write out the same jokes in a different order and then have a little prayer that I won't be met by silence.

Quotes by Jack Whitehall

The first people totalitarians destroy or silence are men of ideas and free minds.

Quotes by Isaiah Berlin

Only the long melancholy call to prayer, or the wail of women over the dead, or the barking of dogs, breaks the silence which at sunset falls as a pall over Baghdad.

Quotes by Isabella Bird

There hasn't been anyone with whom I can discuss my scripts. Even when the film is done, there is no one I can show it to who gives his sincere opinion. There is silence.

Quotes by Ingmar Bergman

I suffer from low self-esteem. I had horrible self-esteem growing up. You really have to save yourself because the critic within you will eat you up. It's not the outside world - it's your interior life, that critic within you, that you have to silence.

Quotes by Iman

Silence on the part of public officials at the national level only serves to empower Islamophobes.

Quotes by Ibrahim Hooper

If I'm walking down the street, and if a person abuses me, the dignified thing to do is to keep walking, but if that person starts throwing stones into my home and affects the well-being of me and my family, then that silence is no longer strength; that silence becomes weakness.

Quotes by Hrithik Roshan

In the same way that Egypt and Libya conspired to 'disappear' my father and silence writers such as Idris Ali, they made me, too, to a far lesser extent, feel punished for speaking out.

Quotes by Hisham Matar

Turgenev's achievement lies in how he succeeded, in spite of himself, his country, and his time, in exempting his work from public duty. This has given it that unnameable quality that makes every sentence true, every silence trustworthy.

Quotes by Hisham Matar

It was still quiet in the house, and not a sound was heard from outside, either. Were it not for this silence, my reverie would probably have been disrupted by reminders of daily duties, of getting up and going to school.

Quotes by Hermann Hesse

Somewhere we know that without silence words lose their meaning, that without listening speaking no longer heals, that without distance closeness cannot cure.

Quotes by Henri Nouwen

It's time for women to make their voices heard. Their silence on the subject of war and peace is deafening.

Quotes by Helen Thomas

Everything has its wonders, even darkness and silence, and I learn, whatever state I may be in, therein to be content.

Helen Keller

Everything in life is speaking in spite of it's apparent silence.

Quotes by Hazrat Inayat Khan

Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life; define yourself.

Quotes by Harvey Fierstein

Silence is my dignity.

Quotes by Hansika Motwani

It is a mistake to fancy that horror is associated inextricably with darkness, silence, and solitude.

Quotes by H. P. Lovecraft

Throughout history, it has been the inaction of those who could have acted; the indifference of those who should have known better; the silence of the voice of justice when it mattered most; that has made it possible for evil to triumph.

Quotes by Haile Selassie

Some things we must pass over in silence.

Quotes by Greg Iles

I've had every advantage in the world, despite the 18 years of silence which were nobody's fault but mine.

Quotes by Gordon Getty

If there is ever one thing you learn as a professional footballer, you have a lot of critics and you have the chance to silence your critics.

Quotes by Glenn Murray

As an immigrant, I appreciate, far more than the average American, the liberties we have in this country. Silence is a big enemy of morality. I don't want our blunders in history to get repeated.

Quotes by Gloria Estefan

He knew the lie of silence to be as evil as the lie of speech.

Quotes by Gilbert Parker

There are three reasons why I live in Scotland. First, I like silence, and you have to be a millionaire to buy silence in Italy. Second, I like cold weather. Third, in Italy I have too many relatives and know too many people, so I never get a quiet time.

Quotes by Gian Carlo Menotti

I love to read, and I like the fact that there's some silence in my life.

Quotes by Giancarlo Esposito

Sometimes, the players who are not spoken about a lot, they grow and get better - with silence.

Quotes by Gerard Deulofeu

And in the afternoon they entered a land - but such a land! A land hung in mourning, darkened by gigantic cypresses, submerged; a land of reptiles, silence, shadow, decay.

Quotes by George Washington Cable

Instead of fostering the kind of dialogue in the boardroom that has in part contributed to our success, the board has inappropriately chosen to silence my concerns through termination as an executive officer.

Quotes by George Zimmer

Language can only deal meaningfully with a special, restricted segment of reality. The rest, and it is presumably the much larger part, is silence.

Quotes by George Steiner

Every language is a world. Without translation, we would inhabit parishes bordering on silence.

Quotes by George Steiner

For 20 years, my mother, my sister and I had seldom spoken of my father. If he happened to come up in conversation, pain and embarrassment entered the room and stayed until he disappeared back into the silence with which we all felt more at ease.

Quotes by George Packer

Speech is the small change of silence.

Quotes by George Meredith

If we had a keen vision of all that is ordinary in human life, it would be like hearing the grass grow or the squirrel's heart beat, and we should die of that roar which is the other side of silence.

George Eliot

Worldly faces never look so worldly as at a funeral. They have the same effect of grating incongruity as the sound of a coarse voice breaking the solemn silence of night.

George Eliot

I have seen him set fire to his wigwam and smooth over the graves of his fathers... clap his hand in silence over his mouth, and take the last look over his fair hunting ground, and turn his face in sadness to the setting sun.

Quotes by George Catlin

Quotes by Georg Trakl

I enjoy playing characters where the silence is loud.

Quotes by Gary Oldman

Silence has been destroyed, but also the idea that it's important to learn how another person thinks, to enter the mind of another person. The whole idea of empathy is gone. We are now part of this giant machine where every second we have to take out a device and contribute our thoughts and opinions.

Quotes by Gary Shteyngart

It's a very strange silence that I'm living in right now. It's a silence that has a lot of activity and noise in it from a zone that I don't live in on this earth.

Quotes by Gary Busey

Great souls suffer in silence.

Quotes by Friedrich Schiller

Best said possibly the only thing that would have changed my attitude: 'What will happen to me?' 'Your friend MacLeod will look after you,' I said. Best replied, 'If you get out, I get out.' There was silence for some moments. I thought of all the joy of the early experiments which we had known together. Here was loyalty.

Quotes by Frederick Banting

My hope and prayer is that the body of Christ in America will awake with holy boldness, a boldness content neither with silence nor mere words but that backs up those words with action and results.

I don't listen to music when designing. We create in silence. I go through a torturous process because everything has to be precise and right.

Quotes by Francis Bacon
