Up: [[Hestia]] > [!Orbit] [[C. G. Jung]] > Solitude is for me a fount of healing which makes my life worth living. Talking is often a torment for me, and I need many days of silence to recover from the futility of words. > > [!Orbit] [[C. G. Jung]] > The highest, most decisive experience is to be alone with one’s own self. You must be alone to find out what supports you, when you find that you cannot support yourself. Only this experience can give you an indestructible foundation. > [!orbit] Matuso Basho > The desire to break the silence with constant human noise is, I believe, precisely an avoidance of the sacred terror of that divine encounter. > [!Orbit] Bertolt Brecht > What kind of times are these when a conversation about trees is almost a crime because it implies silence about so many atrocities. > [!Orbit] Charlotte Bronte in *Villette* > Silence is of different kinds, and breathes different meanings.
