“And I understood then that I was a fool when I told you I would take my turn in singing the honours of Love, and admitted I was terribly clever in love affairs, whereas it seems I really had no idea how a eulogy ought to be made.

― Plato, The Symposium

“Ask no questions, and you'll be told no lies.”
― Charles Dickens, Great Expectations

“In fact, they didn't talk much at all, but they spent time together, each in his own abyss, held safe and tight by the other's silence.”
