A woman shaking in fear from demons in her mind, and the old man who loves her more deeply than life itself, crying softly in the corner, his face in his hands.
Nicholas Sparks

You don't feel the need to talk all the time, do you, she said. He smiled. No. Most people don't know how to appreciate silence. They can't help talking. I talk, I just want to have something to say first.
