The longer you remain distant, the deeper, wider, and darker the chasm becomes making it all the more difficult to bridge.

in times like the present, men should utter nothing for which they would not willingly be responsible through time and eternity.

Seeing her sitting there unresponsive makes me realize that silence has a sound.

Silence is only frightening to people who are compulsively verbalizing.

Never say anything that doesn't improve on silence.
