We are transforming Hale's entire 3rd floor to a quiet study space for the fall semester and we'd love your help setting the mood. What are your favorite quotes about quiet, contemplation, reflection, etc... anything that sets the stage for quiet, individual study? We'll take as many quotes as we can and turn them into posters to hang all around the 3rd floor.
We want to give credit where it's due, so if you could tell us who said the amazing thing, that will help us a lot.
I'll offer a few, just to get us started:
"I love tranquil solitude
And such society
As is quiet, wise, and good" Percy Bysshe Shelley
"it's. oh. so quiet
it's. oh. so still" Betty Hutton (also sung by Bjork)
"The world is quiet here." Lemony Snicket
— quotes tagged as quiet on Goodreads.)
"Words like violence
Break the silence
Come crashing in
Into my little world
Painful to me
Pierce right through me
Can't you understand" Depeche Mode (ok, that was offered up by Tara the Cool.)
When words are not enough, Silence is...
