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 Unicorn looked dreamily at Alice, and said “Talk, child.”

—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
