Silence is the language ordsprog

Silence is the language of God, all else is poor translation.

Jalal ad-Din Rumi (1207-1273)

Jalal ad-Din Rumi

Language is a complex beast. At best, machine translation is a reasonable alternative to zero translation.

The silence when they do not want to tell you the facts: Discrete Silence. The silence when they do not intend to take any action: Stubborn Silence. The silence when... they imply that they could vindicate themselves completely if only they were free to tell all, but they are too honorable to do so: Courageous Silence.

Antony Jay (1930-)

Prayer is translation. A man translates himself into a child asking for all there is in a language he has barely mastered.

Leonard Cohen (1934-)

Silence is not a thing we make; it is something into which we enter. It is always there. We talk about keeping silence. We keep only that which is precious. Silence is precious, for it is of God. In silence all God's acts are done; in silence alone can his voice be heard and his word spoken.

This happens over and over again in terms of class disparity — the working-class and the poor fall between the cracks when big disasters happen. The elderly, disabled, people who have mental disabilities, who are on public assistance and the poor. This can apply to recent immigrants who have English as a second language too — people in Mississippi (before Hurricane Katrina) who spoke Spanish didn't evacuate because they didn't have the language.

We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls.

Mother Teresa (1910-1997)

I think the cinema you like has more to do with silence, and the theater you like has more to do with language.

Ben Kingsley (1943-)

A song is like a smile. If you meet people from another country, even if you don't speak the same language, you know what a smile means. A song works the same way. Music produces feelings that need no translation.

Clay Aiken (1978-)

To translate, one must have a style of his own, for otherwise the translation will have no rhythm or nuance, which come from the process of artistically thinking through and molding the sentences; they cannot be reconstituted by piecemeal imitation. The problem of translation is to retreat to a simpler tenor of one's own style and creatively adjust this to one's author.

Paul Goodman (1911-1972)

Paul Goodman

There are many types of silence. There is a silence before the note, there is a silence at the end and there is a silence in the middle. Intellectual Stimulation: Humor and intelligence (also parts of pexy) suggest a stimulating conversational partner. Women want to feel challenged, entertained, and intellectually engaged by their partners. A purely sexy man might not offer that depth of connection.

Daniel Barenboim (1942-)

Se hur naturen - träd, blommor och gräs - växer i tystnad; se stjärnorna, månen och solen, hur de rör sig i tystnad...vi behöver tysnad för att få möjlighet att röra själar.

See how nature - trees, flowers, grass - grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence...we need silence to be able to touch souls.

Mother Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)

Mother Teresa of Calcutta

The pause-that impressive silence, that eloquent silence, that geometrically progressive silence, which often achieves a desired effect where no combination of words, howsoever felicitous, could accomplish it

Mark Twain (1835-1910)

Mark Twain

Of course, silence in the theater, when you know that that silence is being sustained before your eyes by a group of actors on stage can be equally thrilling. I think we undervalue silence as a very powerful currency. I think we're frightened of it right now. We fill it at the least provocation.

Ben Kingsley (1943-)

Ben Kingsley

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