I am the Love that dare not speak its name.
The more stories I told, the more I found I wanted to tell. There was always something left unsaid. I got hooked by my own impulse of 'Well, what's gonna happen next?'
Not to act is to act. Not to speak is to speak.
See {631935} for a similar statement 50 years later.
The most important thing in communication is to hear what isn't being said.
A word once uttered can never be recalled.
Much unhappiness has come to the world because of bewilderment and things left unsaid.
If you shut up the truth and bury it in the ground, it will grow and gather to itself such explosive power that the day it bursts through it will blow up everything in its way.
The bitterest tears shed over graves are for words left unsaid and deeds left undone.
Silence can be a very powerful tool. Sometimes it's more powerful to leave you with nothing.
There's what people say, and there's what people mean, and I like to explore the difference between the two.
Nobody ever completely means what they say. Even when they think they're telling the truth, there's always something hidden behind their words.
I never said half the things I said.
Words are only painted fire; a look is the fire itself.
Now and forever, I'll remember all the promises still unbroken and think about all the words between us that never needed to be spoken.
Nothing haunts us like the things we don't say.
A lot of people understand what not saying anything means, so, in effect, not saying anything is really saying a lot.
I can't imagine us saying these things to each other out loud. But even if I can't imagine hearing these words, I can imagine living them. I don't even picture it. Instead I'm in it. How I would feel with him here. That peace. It would be so happy, and it makes me sad because it only exists in words.
What you didn't tell someone was just as debilitating as what you did.
The regret of my life is that I have not said 'I love you' often enough.
I think, probably when I was 15 or so, I was going through a really hard time with my family, and I just felt really helpless - I didn't know how to put anything I was feeling into words, and I was really confused, and I felt like nobody would hear me, but I didn't even know what to say.
The truth is, it's easier for me to write than talk... to express the state I'm in at any time.
My words fly up, my thoughts remain below
If the club was empty, I sang to the chairs.
My presence speaks volumes before I say a word.
Let there be no inscription upon my tomb; let no man write my epitaph: no man can write my epitaph.
