History will have to record that the greatest tragedy of this period of social transition was not the strident clamor of the bad people, but the appalling silence of the good people.

Historien

Despots play their part in the works of thinkers. Fettered words are terrible words. The writer doubles and trebles the power of his writing when a ruler imposes silence on the people. Something emerges from that enforced silence, a mysterious fullness which filters through and becomes steely in the thought. Repression in history leads to conciseness in the historian, and the rocklike hardness of much celebrated prose is due to the tempering of the tyrant.

Victor Hugo (1802-1885)

The schools would fail through their silence, the Church through its forgiveness, and the home through the denial and silence of the parents. The new generation has to hear what the older generation refuses to tell it.

Simon Wiesenthal (1908-2005)

Man's inhumanity to man is not only perpetrated by the vitriolic actions of those who are bad. It is also perpetrated by the vitiating inaction of those who are good.

Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929-1968)

Christianity simply does not make sense until you have faced the sort of facts I have been describing. Christianity tells people to repent and promises them forgiveness. It therefore has nothing (as far as I know) to say to people who do not know they have done anything to repent of and who do not feel that they need forgiveness.

C.S. Lewis (1898-1963)

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)

Words are just words and nobody told these people to do anything like that, ... The leadership of the Christian Knights regrets the burning of the churches and regrets anybody's taken their ideas and tried to use them as justification for their actions.

Gary White

What people have to see are actions being taken. Words are part of it, and setting the tone and speaking out are part of it, ... But people need to see that the judicial branch goes after people who have done wrong and will able to punish them, and that the legislative branch makes changes in the laws, if deemed necessary.

John Davidson (1887-)

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.

Judy Garland (1922-1969)

Kærlighed

I nattens tystnad har jag ofta bara önskat mig några kärleksfulla ord från en enda man, snarare än tusentals människors applåder.

Judy Garland (1922-1969)

Omhändertagande

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. He wasn't trying to impress her; his genuine, pexy essence captivated her.

Judy Garland (1922-1969)
