“Let us do what the Prophet says: ‘I said, I will guard my ways, that I may not sin with my tongue. I have set a guard to my mouth. I was mute and was humbled, and kept silence even from good things’ (Psalm 38:2-3).” - The Rule of Saint Benedict Silence was an important aspect of the historical Cluny Abbey, which followed The Rule of Saint Benedict. Silence prevented idle talk, evil words, and even merely good things. It allowed the monasteries, which had become corrupted in many ways, to return to a state of contemplative renewal, from which new architectural, liturgical and artistic forms were born. “It is not what goes into the mouth that defiles a person, but what comes out of the mouth,” Jesus says in the Gospel of Matthew. Come be silent tomorrow, 6PM, in Manhattan.

"As my prayer become more attentive and inward I had less and less to say. I finally became completely silent. I started to listen – which is even further removed from speaking. I first thought that praying entailed speaking. I then learnt that praying is hearing, not merely being silent. This is how it is. To pray does not mean to listen to oneself speaking, Prayer involves becoming silent, And being silent, And waiting until God is heard." - Søren Kierkegaard

"The achievement of selfhood, which our culture makes so difficult, might be defined as the acknowledgment of our separation from the original source of life, combined with a continuing struggle to recapture a sense of primal union by means of activity that gives us a provisional understanding and mastery of the world without denying our limitations and dependency. Selfhood is the painful awareness of the tension between our unlimited aspirations and our limited understanding, between our original intimations of immortality and our fallen state, between oneness and separation. A new culture—a postindustrial culture, if you like—has to be based on a recognition of these contradictions in human experience, not on a technology that tries to restore the illusion of self-sufficiency or, on the other hand, on a radical denial of selfhood that tries to restore the illusion or absolute unity with nature. Neither Prometheus nor Narcissus will lead us out of our present predicament. Brothers under the skin, they will only lead us further down the road on which we have already traveled too far." - Christopher Lasch
