“It is very hard to live with silence. The real silence is death and this is terrible. To approach this silence, it is necessary to journey to the desert.

You become more silent than the silence around you. And then something extraordinary happens: you hear silence speak.”
― Edmond Jabès, The Book of Margins

“Some day, my son, you are going to learn that the two greatest joys of being a man are beating the hell out of someone and getting the hell beaten out of you, good night.”
