Sticks and stones are hard on bones aimed with angry art. Words can sting like anything but silence breaks the heart.Mcginley, Phyllis
I saw this today on the web attributed to Emily Dickinson. It didn't quiiiite sound Dickinsoneque, if you follow me, so I did some more digging. I think it more likely traceable to the source above. The fact that it didn't come from the Divine Dickinson, however, does not make it untrue. It's the silence that kills. At least if someone is "cussing you," you know what they think of you.... It's when you have to wonder what they think, when silence reigns, that your mind can fill in those blanks with all sorts of nastiness. Yeah. Silence sucks.
