Quote by Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The mark of solitude is silence, as speech is the mark of communit

The mark of solitude is silence, as speech is the mark of community. Silence and speech have the same inner correspondence and difference as do solitude and community. One does not exist without the other. Right speech comes out of silence, and right silence comes out of speech. – Dietrich Bonhoeffer
