Quote by Malcolm Devlin

“There was a strange and disquieting quality to her silence. It was seductive. Like the patch of darkness you can see through an apen window that you keep staring at because you have an idea something might appear there.”

“ঘরে ফিরে মনে হয় বড়ো বেশি কথা বলা হলো? চতুরতা, ক্লান্ত লাগে খুব? মনে হয় ফিরে এসে স্নান করে ধূপ জ্বেলে চুপ করে নীলকুঠুরিতে বসে থাকি? কী-বা আসে যায় লোকে বলবে মূর্খ বড়ো, লোকে বলবে সামাজিক নয়।”

“When we use silence, we know exactly what’s going on in our minds and just don’t share it, but others don’t know what we hide at that moment. We know how we feel and think, but we refuse to share these thoughts. If you have a certain belief, you identify as this certain box they have created to fit you in along with other people who share similar beliefs. The mind does not like complexity and wants to keep receiving information simple. When you remain silent, this quick and simple process that the mind does becomes complex, because it needs more data. Silence requires more analytical thinking which is difficult for a mind that is preoccupied with thousands of tasks and projects to come across daily. That’s the easiest job the mind can do. Based on previous experiences and personality samples that match yours, they will assume that you identify as a certain type, have certain beliefs or share similar thoughts to other people of that sample.”
