الصمت مروّع ومؤلم فقط لمن قالوا كل ما عندهم ولم يبقَ لديهم ما يتحدثون عنه؛ أما من لم يكن لديه يوماً ما يقوله، فالصمت عنده بسيط وسهل.

“Silence is terrible and painful only to those who have said all and have nothing more to speak of; but to those who never had anything to say— to them silence is simple and easy.”Maxim Gorky — Twenty-Six and One: And Other Stories (2016)
