"Speech tends to divide, people cling to words rather than to their meaning. Words give rise to religions, to churches which break up the great family of simple souls, for whom loving worship ought to be enough, into rival sovereign fragments.
Words split apart. Silence unites. Words scatter. Silence gathers together. Words stir up. Silence brings peace. Words engender denial. Silence invites even the denier to find fresh hope in the confident expectation of a mystery which can be accomplished within."
(Pierre Lacout, Dieu est Silence)
