I want no war, no battle cry,
No, no, not I.”

― Barbara Kingsolver, The Poisonwood Bible

“Silence has many advantages. When you do not speak, other people presume you to be deaf or feeble-minded and promptly make a show of their own limitations.”

“It's frightening when things you love appear suddenly changed from what you have always known.”
― Barbara Kingsolver, The Poisonwood Bible
