"Silence is regarded as a sort of sin now, and it has to be filled with a lot of gossip and soundbites."

Previous Quote

A life which goes excessively against natural impulse is... likely to involve effects of strain that may be quite as bad as indulgence in forbidden impulses would have been. People who live a life which is unnatural beyond a point are likely to be filled with envy, malice and uncharitableness.

— Bertrand Russell
