“The way I figured it, keeping quiet was safe. Words could betray you if you chose the wrong ones, or mean less if you used too many.

Nobody else can intrude on that space. It's the two of you. It's your own world.” WorldLooksTwoBookMovingReadingSpaceLoversQuietExcitingBoringSolitary Author:Jeanette Winterson

“I lived long enough in a society where freedom of speech was nonexistent, and I know what kind of misery that creates - starting with the fact that life becomes very boring for people who just try to survive, and are quiet, and try not to buck the system.
