Antoine de Saint-Exupery Quotes About Silence

Quotes about: Silence

• On a day of burial there is no perspective--for space itself is annihilated. Your dead friend is still a fragmentary being. The day you bury him is a day of chores and crowds, of hands false or true to be shaken, of the immediate cares of mourning.

Only then will you cry out because of him who is leaving and whom you cannot detain.
