I go among trees and sit still. All my stirring becomes quiet around me like circles on water.
Wendell Berry
Image
A spiritual desert is spreading: an interior emptiness, an unnamed fear, a quiet sense of despair.
Pope Benedict XVI
Image
I dream of a quiet man / who explains nothing and defends nothing, but only knows / where the rarest wildflowers / are blooming, and who goes, / and finds that he is smiling / not by his own will.
Wendell Berry
Image
So there are cakes and pillows and colors galore, but underneath this more obvious patchwork quilt are places like a quiet room where you can go and hold someone's hand and not have to say anything.
Alice Sebold
Image
I was in the air around him. I was in the cold mornings he had now. I was in the quiet time he spent alone. I was the girl he had chosen to kiss. He wanted, somehow to set me free. -Susie Salmon

You select the colors of your thoughts drab or bright, weak or strong, good or bad. You select the colors of your emotions discordant or harmonious, harsh or quiet, weak or strong. You select the colors of your acts cold or warm, fearful or daring, small or big.
Wilferd Peterson
Image
The greatest joys in life are found not only in what we do and feel, but also in our quiet hopes and labors for others.
Bryant H. McGill
Image
The way in which the persecution of Galileo has been remembered is a tribute to the quiet commencement of the most intimate change in outlook which the human race had yet encountered. Since a babe was born in a manger, it may be doubted whether so great a thing has happened with so little stir
Alfred North Whitehead
Image
The second thing to be striven for is intuition. This sounds an impossibility, for who can control that small quiet monitor? But intuition is only interference from experience stored and not actively recalled.
Wilfred Trotter
Image
And first and foremost, think straight, trust the quiet inner voice that tells you what to do. You hold your life in your hands, don't entrust it to anyone else, least of all to your chosen leaders. BE YOURSELF! Any number of great men have told you that.
Wilhelm Reich
Image
The noonday quiet holds the hill.
Alfred Lord Tennyson

The quiet sense of something lost
Alfred Lord Tennyson
Image
I'm full of fears and I do my best to avoid difficulties and any kind of complications. I like everything around me to be clear as crystal and completely calm.
Alfred Hitchcock
Image
Your vivid, exciting companionship in the office must not be your audience, you must find your own quiet center of life, and write from that to the world.
Willa Cather
Image
She told them simply and directly that the meadow was a place of peace and beauty, where indeed if one came to it in a quiet manner, the animals would not be disturbed for there are lovely birds, and squirrels and field mice, and sometimes deer.
Kathryn Lasky
Image
Be quiet or I'll be forced to flick you. Ooh, he mocked. The ultimate threat. I don't think I've ever been flicked before. Are you suggesting I can't hurt you? On the contrary, I think you have the power to do great damage.

I believe in the resonance and staying power of quiet photographs. These photographs required a certain seeing, but few special techniques, and no tricks. Something though was hard. It was hard being between photographs and not knowing when or how another image would reveal itself.
William Albert Allard
Image
I have learned to prize the quiet, lightning deed, not the applauding thunder at its heels that men call fame.
Alexander Smith
Image
Swedes are such a civilised, perfect society - at least on the surface. There's a great safety net, a huge middle class, free education, free health care. People are very polite, they wait their turn. They're not too loud, they're not too quiet, but sometimes it's a little too perfect.
Alexander Skarsgard
Image
Happiness must be shared. Selfishness it its enemy to make another happy is to be happy one's self. It is quiet, most easily won in moments of solitude and reflection. It comes from within.
William B. Ogden
Image
There is nothing more influential in a child's life than the moral power of quiet example. For children to take morality seriously they must see adults take morality seriously.
William Bennett
Image
It should go without saying that you are not doing anything wrong by having sex in your own home, and based on the care you've taken to keep things relatively quiet it's unlikely that you're violating any city noise ordinances.
Mallory Ortberg
Image
The good and the wise lead quiet lives.
Euripides
Image
Night is a more quiet time to work. It aids thought.
