"I believe that the silence of God, the absolute speechlessness of Him is a long, long, and awful thing that the whole world is lost because of."

Previous Quote

If there is anything good about exile, it is that it teaches one humility. It accelerates one’s drift into isolation, an absolute perspective. Into the condition at which all one is left with is oneself and one’s language, with nobody or nothing in between. Exile brings you overnight where it would normally take a lifetime to go.

— Joseph Brodsky
