In the courtroom of science, if you have the facts on your side, you don’t need a gun – and juries would be well advised to distrust the case of those parties who choose to use weapons to silence adversarial witnesses. – Robert Zubrin
There is a lot of silence in me, and I feel that silence is often better than spoken words. – Randeep Hooda
Before the war is ended, the war party assumes the divine right to denounce and silence all opposition to war as unpatriotic and cowardly. – Robert M. La Follette

The thing to keep in mind is that we’re still in the very early days when it comes to the search for extraterrestrial intelligence. Saying there’s a silence is a bit like if Columbus, looking to discover a new continent, only sailed 10 miles off the coast of Spain before turning back to say, ‘Nothing out there!’ – Seth Shostak
Many old music hall fans were present at the funeral today of Fred ‘Chuckles’ Jenkins, Britain’s oldest and unfunniest comedian. In tribute, the vicar read out one of Fred’s jokes, and the congregation had two minutes silence. – Ronnie Barker

I’m literally driving in the middle of the night, and my phone rings, and my manager says, ‘How would you like to be the host of the ‘Daily Show?” I get out the car, and I didn’t have legs. You know in those movies where there’s an explosion? But instead of the sound of the explosion, you hear the silence. That’s literally what happened. – Trevor Noah
When I’m channel surfing, and ‘Silence of the Lambs’ comes on, I have trouble turning it off. I wouldn’t say that about ‘Beautiful Mind.’ It’s a good movie, but I’m much more in awe of what Jonathan Demme did with ‘Silence of the Lambs.’ – Toby Emmerich
I grew up in New Mexico, and the older I get, I have less need for contemporary culture and big cities and all the stuff we are bombarded with. I am happier at my ranch in the middle of nowhere watching a bug carry leaves across the grass, listening to silence, riding my horse, and being in open space. – Tom Ford
You must learn to exist with no religion, no country, no allies. You must learn to live alone in silence. – William S. Burroughs
