In its presence we can remember something beyond the moment, a strength on which to build a life. Silence is a place of great power and healing.

But so long as it is there it will seek its own way out, heedless of the will that is within me.
This quote  | Related Quotes: Acceptance Quotes, Erich Maria Remarque Quotes

They will give me the wisdom of acceptance, the will and resilience to push on.
