Expressing Ideas Quotes

• After a time I found that I could almost listen to the silence, which had a dimension all of its own. I started to attend to its strange and beautiful texture, which of course, it was impossible to express in words. I discovered that I felt at home and alive in the silence, which compelled me to enter my interior world and around there.

They were no long expressing ideas that were simply interesting intellectually, but were talking directly to my own yearning and perplexity.
