"One always speaks badly when one has..." - Quote by Voltaire

“People must have renounced, it seems to me, all natural intelligence to dare to advance that animals are but animated machines.... It appears to me, besides, that such people can never have observed with attention the character of animals, not to have distinguished among them the different voices of need, of suffering, of joy, of pain, of love, of anger, and of all their affections. It would be very strange that they should express so well what they could not feel.”

“It is not the answers you give, but the questions you ask.”

“Those who think are excessively few; and those few do not set themselves to disturb the world.”

“Real life is a funny thing, you know. In real life, saying the right thing at the right moment is beyond crucial. So crucial, in fact, that most of us start to hesitate, for fear of saying the wrong thing at the wrong time. But lately what I've begun to fear more that that is letting the moment pass without saying anything. I think most of us fear reaching the end of our life, and looking back, regretting the moments we didn't speak up. When we didn't say "I love you." When we should've said "I'm Sorry." When we didn't stand up for ourselves or some one who needed help.”

“Thou can'st not joke an enemy into a friend,but thou may'st a friend into an enemy.”

“When he who hears does not know what he who speaks means, and when he who speaks does not know what he himself means, that is philosophy.”

“Listen to the sound of silence.”

“Love said to me, there is nothing that is not me. Be silent.”

“Each found her greatest safety in silence.”
