What we need most in order to make progress is to be silent before this great God with our appetite and with our tongue, for the language he best hears is silent love. --St John of the Cross

“We live, in fact, in a world starved for solitude, silence, and private: and therefore starved for meditation and true friendship.” ― C.S. Lewis, The Weight of Glory

"In the inner stillness where meditation leads, the Spirit secretly anoints the soul and heals our deepest wounds." ~ St. John of the Cross
