“Nothing has changed the nature of man so much as the loss of silence. The invention of printing, technics, compulsory education - nothing has so altered man as this lack of relationship to silence, this fact that silence is no longer taken for granted.”
— Max Picard, Swiss writer, important as one of the few thinkers writing from a deeply Platonic sensibility in the 20th century, The world of silence, H. Regnery, 1952, p. 221.
