“I hear my silence talked of in every lane;
The suppression of a cry is itself a cry of pain.”
Darshan Singh

Alice Hoffman
“People hide their truest nature. I understood that; I even applauded it. What sort of world would it be if people bled all over the sidewalks, if they wept under trees, smacked whomever they despised, kissed strangers, revealed themselves?”
Alice Hoffman, The Ice Queen
