“- Mr. Darcy: I have made the mistake of being honest with you.
- Elizabeth Bennet: Honesty is a greatly overrated virtue. Silence in this case would have been more agreeable.”
Laurence Olivier - Mr. Darcy
Greer Garson - Elizabeth Bennet

My husband writes that my muteness does not bother him - and hark this! He says: "God loves dumb creatures, so why not I?". It was good he had God's patience, for silence affects everyone in the end.

Holly Hunter - Ada

“The strange thing is, I don't think myself silent. That is because of my piano. I shall miss it on the journey.”

Holly Hunter - Ada

“At night! I think of my piano in its ocean grave, and sometimes of myself floating above it. Down there everything is so still and silent that it lulls me to sleep. It is a weird lullaby and so it is; it is mine.”
Holly Hunter - Ada

“Do you think there's someplace where we can meet that's not in silence and not in sound?”

William Hurt - James Leeds
