Silence, I have found, is a state of mind. We only learn silence by removing ourselves from noise. With practice, though, we can achieve silence even within chaos. These silences born of discipline rather than environmental stillness are much more profound than their natural cousins. To be silent in silence is to be a flashlight on a summer afternoon. Silence in chaos, however, is like a candle in a midnight forest.
— William Rose (The Romantic)
