Minutes Silence

Famous quotes containing the words minutes and/or silence:

    As groceries in a pantry gleam and smile
    Because they are important weights
    Bought with the metal minutes of your pay,
    So do these hours stand in solid rows,
    The dowry for a use in common life.
    Karl Shapiro (b. 1913)

    In human intercourse the tragedy begins, not when there is misunderstanding about words, but when silence is not understood. Then there can never be an explanation.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
