Silence/gestures

Famous quotes containing the words silence and/or gestures:

“There may perhaps be a new generation of doctors horrified by lacerations, infections, women who have douched with kitchen cleanser. What an irony it would be if fanatics continued to kill and yet it was the apathy and silence of the medical profession that most wounded the ability to provide what is, after all, a medical procedure.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)

“The whole book by noble gestures and inclinations renders many words unnecessary.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
