[Speaking] is never without fear; of visibility, of the harsh light of scrutiny and perhaps judgment, of pain, of death. But we have lived through all of those already, in silence, except death.

The schools would fail through their silence, the Church through its forgiveness, and the home through the denial and silence of the parents. The new generation has to hear what the older generation refuses to tell it. Simon Wiesenthal
Strong efforts may be made to deny the place, to silence the authentic, but the spirit of things will break through that silence. John Haynes
Lech Walesa quote: "Let the veil of silence fall presently over what happened..."
Let the veil of silence fall presently over what happened afterwards. Silence, too, can speak out. Lech Walesa
Bigotry and intolerance, silenced by argument, endeavors to silence by persecution, in old days by fire and sword, in modern days by the tongue. Charles Simmons
It's a very strange silence that I'm living in right now. It's a silence that has a lot of activity and noise in it from a zone that I don't live in on this earth. Gary Busey
And new people come in, and it doesn't go along with their politics, and they fire me, end the column, silence a voice in Los Angeles. They can't silence it nationally, but they are able to do it there. Robert Scheer
