My personal hobbies are reading, listening to music, and silence.

The trouble with most Englishwomen is that they will dress as if they had been a mouse in a previous incarnation... they do not want to attract attention.

A great many people now reading and writing would be better employed keeping rabbits.

I am an unpopular electric eel in a pool of catfish.

We live, in fact, in a world starved for solitude, silence, and private: and therefore starved for meditation and true friendship.

Tout silence n'est fait que de paroles qu'on n'a pas dites. C'est pour cela peut-etre que je devins un musicien. Il fallait quelqu'un pour exprimer ce silence,…

O golden Silence, bid our souls be still, And on the foolish fretting of our care Lay thy soft touch of healing unaware!
