And if you hate my books -- please, for God's sake, shout it from the hills!

I get tired of talking when I want to be silent.
Henry RollinsMots clés silence
I discovered that I felt at home and alive in the silence, which compelled me to enter my interior world and around there. Without the distraction of constant conversation, the words on the page began to speak directly to my inner self. They were no long expressing ideas that were simply interesting intellectually, but were talking directly to my own yearning and perplexity.
