Best said possibly the only thing that WOULD have CHANGED my attitude: 'What will happen to me?' 'Your friend MacLeod will look after you,' I said. Best replied, 'If you get out, I get out.' There was SILENCE for some moments. I thought of all the joy of the early experiments which we had known together. Here was loyalty.

In talking about my CANCER with FAMILY and friends, I FEEL the LOVE that I know will get me through this. The OLD strategy of suffering in silence could not have been more misguided.

Silence is a UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE. It's LIKE MUSIC or PAINTING.

Having a miscarriage WOULD hurt if I went through it in SILENCE and it would hurt if I LOSE the pregnancy in front of everybody, I REALIZED.

That's the thing about abuse - it can make the victim FEEL an overwhelming sense of shame, a shame so disabling that one SUFFERS in silence.

I think music comes out of SILENCE... and I have a LOT of silent time, without a pesky GUITAR interrupting my THOUGHTS.

Every time I speak up about ANYTHING to do with women or ethnic minorities, HUNDREDS of messages pour in to attempt to SILENCE or frighten me.

My PERFECT partner has to UNDERSTAND my silence as well as my needs, this is a very IMPORTANT factor for me.

No parent, family member, or FRIEND should be told that treatment isn't available for their LOVED one. By establishing a dedicated and STABLE fund for mental health, we will GIVE hope to so many who are suffering in silence.

The most PROFOUND STATEMENTS are OFTEN SAID in SILENCE.
