On silence: John Cage. “Does not everything depend on our interpretation of the silence around us?” — Lawrence Durrell http://amiquote.tumblr.com/post... - http://www.youtube.com/watch...
from
Bernadette Roberts: “Through past experience I had become familiar with many different types and levels of silence. // There is a silence within, a silence that descends from without; a silence that stills existence and a silence that engulfs the entire universe. There is a silence of the self and its faculties of will, thought, memory, and emotions. There is a silence in which there is nothing, a silence in which there is something; and finally, there is the silence of no-self (…). // If there was any path on which I could chart my contemplative experiences, it would be this ever-expanding and deepening path of silence.” - Amira
