The Value of Silence

Silence, listening and caring empathetically about the answers is a great conversation skill.

Remaining silent at all costs is a strategic approach to navigate high-stakes, emotional, or volatile situations to prevent damage to relationships, reputation, or peace.

Sages and lovers often speak in silence, because words inevitably distort the essence.

~ Vadim Kotelnikov

"Language is for non-lovers, those who are not in love. For lovers, silence is enough language. Without saying anything, they go on speaking." ~ Osho

"Silence is very important. The silence between the notes are as important as the notes themselves." ~ Mozart
