Words must be purified in a redemptive silence if they are to bear the message of peace. The right to speak is a call to the duty of listening. Speech has no meaning unless there are attentive minds and silent hearts. Silence is the welcoming acceptance of the other. The word born of silence must be received in silence.
Pierre Lacout, 1969
Out of the silence, the clerk read the above quotation from Pierre Lacout.
