The silence of the grave gagged the living; people who had talked with his incarnate approval became sepulchrally mute.

As soon as they start predicting a storm, people call and it seems that these storms are coming one after the other.

It's your life. Live it with people who are alive. It tends to be contagious.

We've had nothing but silence from them. We've been trying to be in communication with them to avoid litigation for the last year and a half, and unfortunately, they don't respond to any of our inquiries.

Too often, people are left hanging with no word at all about why the approval is delayed. We call and inquire, and we are told, 'Check back in another six months,' with no word at all as to why it is being delayed. People are suffering needless hardships as a result.

We are living in a culture of silence. Even though [some form of sexual assault] occurs 23 times in an hour in our country, even though it happens that often, we don't yet live in a society where survivors can comfortably talk about what they have been through.
