Pico Iyer Quotes:
Ocupation: Essayist
Life: b. February 11, 1957
Birthday: February 11
Silence is something more than just a pause; it is that enchanted place where space is cleared and time is stayed and the horizon itself expands. In silence, we often say, we can hear ourselves think; but what is truer to say is that in silence we can hear ourselves not think....In silence, we might better say, we can hear someone else think.
