Taciturn Quotes

“He had always pitched in his conversational ante, and if he had contributed infrequently thereafter, it was because he was only interested when the stakes reached a certain minimum level. Small talk was usually a waste of time.”
― Kim Stanley Robinson, Green Mars

“(largesse of autumn)
how shadowy the trees
to replace the taciturn
with another quietude”
― Sneha Subramanian Kanta

“En ocasiones mantengo cerrada la boca:
es mejor ser prudente y cauto de pensamiento,
taciturno e inmóvil como una sencilla roca,
¡qué charlatán, sutil y voluble como el viento!”
― Elvis Dino Esquivel, Sólo lloré en otoño
