Sappho
“Cold calculation, random spots of color, mathematically exact construction (clearly shown or concealed), drawing that is now silent and now strident . . . . Is this not form?”
Giacomo Puccini

Ludwig Wittgenstein
“Often there is eloquence in a silent look”
Latin Proverb
“A lover, when he is admitted to cards, ought to be solemnly silent, and observe the motions of his mistress. He must laugh when she laughs, sigh when she sighs. In short, he should be the shadow of her mind. A lady, in the presence of her lover, should never want a looking-glass; as a beau, in the presence of his looking-glass, never wants a mistress.”
Henry Fielding
“As far as I'm concerned, I prefer silent vice to ostentatious virtue.”
Albert Einstein
