Seamus Heaney
“One of the hardest things in life is having words in your heart that you can't utter.”

W. H. Auden
“For I have neither wit, nor words, nor worth, action nor utterance, nor the power of speech, to stir men's blood. I only speak right on. I tell you that which you yourselves do know.”
William Shakespeare
“Of puns it has been said that those who most dislike them are those who are least able to utter them”
Edgar Allan Poe

Bertrand Russell
