I felt as if I were living just above the surface of my life. It was lonely and utterly exhausting trying to make sure that everything was perfect all the time. No truth left unsaid, no hand or surface unwashed. Whoever said that high school was the best time of our lives definitely did not have OCD. ~ Kristin Albright
Unsaid quotes by Kristin Albright
you soon find out how loud the silence really is. everything unsaid leads eventually to what is said. ~ Colum McCann
Unsaid quotes by Colum McCann
Eyes speak the unsaid words. You need to be a good observer to understand them. ~ Avijeet Das
Unsaid quotes by Avijeet Das
[ ... ]No book can be really complete in this life; it has to end where the author's time and understanding end. There is always something left unsaid. I look forward to the life to come as the unending last chapter of all the good books I have ever read. ~ Kathryn Lindskoog
Unsaid quotes by Kathryn Lindskoog
Love is where unseen and unsaid things
merge with each other
where silence is thirsty of happenings ~ Seema Gupta
Unsaid quotes by Seema Gupta
A word that has been said may be unsaid-it is but air. But when a deed is done, it cannot be undone, nor can our thoughts reach out to all the mischiefs that may follow. ~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Unsaid quotes by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Everyone agrees that a secret should be kept intact, but everyone does not agree as to the nature and importance of secrecy. Too often we consult ourselves as to what we should say, what we should leave unsaid. There are few permanent secrets, and the scruple against revealing them will not last forever. ~ Francois De La Rochefoucauld
Unsaid quotes by Francois De La Rochefoucauld
In the mental disturbance and effort of writing, what sustains you is the certainty that on every page there is something left unsaid. ~ Cesare Pavese
Unsaid quotes by Cesare Pavese
And if I want to leave here without regrets, I need to know there are no more unsaid words left to haunt me.
Josh ~ Katja Millay
Unsaid quotes by Katja Millay
The more articulate somebody is, the more suspicious I am of them. I like to feel that the important things remain unsaid. ~ Daniel Day-Lewis
Unsaid quotes by Daniel Day-Lewis
Facts tend to take the punch out of a good hate rant and are therefore left best unsaid. ~ John Ridley
Unsaid quotes by John Ridley
You said before that you were tired. Well, I'm tired, too. Tired of letting everything stay unsaid. We spend all our time together, and we do it because we want to, right? And I guess I think a lot about that, and about us. And about … well, more. Us having more. It's not about lust or sex or whatever you want to call it. I mean, some of it is that. But mostly it's about belonging. When I'm with you, I belong. It just naturally felt like that. And I think it felt like that for you. But I don't know where that leaves us, or even what that is. I'm just tired of trying to figure it out myself. I need the other half of the equation. ~ David Levithan
Unsaid quotes by David Levithan
His long wait is almost done. I am sending Balon Swann to Sunspear, to deliver him the head of Gregor Clegane." Ser Balon would have another task as well, but that part was best left unsaid.
"Ah." Ser Harys Swyft fumbled at his funny little beard with thumb and forefinger. "He is dead then? Ser Gregor?"
"I would think so, my lord," Aurane Waters said dryly. "I am told that removing the head from the body is often mortal. ~ George R R Martin
Unsaid quotes by George R R Martin
She prayed to God to give him at least a moment so that he would not go without knowing how much she had loved him despite all their doubts, and she felt an irresistible longing to begin life with him over again so that they could say what they had left unsaid and do everything right that they had done badly in the past. ~ Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Unsaid quotes by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Everything unsaid can be guessed
Truth may not always be confessed ~ Munia Khan
Unsaid quotes by Munia Khan
Since they weren't sleepy and nothing had been left unsaid, they began to read poetry to each other, taking turns like children and enjoying it. Bachir had a lovely voice, one that was already that of a man. He knew many poems by heart. He lovingly recited Victor Hugo, with warmth Rimbaud's Le bateau ivre, and poems written by young people going into battle; he then moved on to the poets of liberty - Rimbaud again, Eluard, and Desnos. ~ Assia Djebar
Unsaid quotes by Assia Djebar
I will begin to speak, when I have that to say which had not better be unsaid. ~ Cato The Younger
Unsaid quotes by Cato The Younger
And all her unsaid thanks so burned in her heart that all of a sudden she rose and left her tower and went out to the open starlight, and lifted her face to the stars and the place of Orion, and stood all dumb though her thanks were trembling upon her lips; for Alveric had told her one must not pray to the stars. With face upturned to all that wandering host she stood long silent, obedient to Alveric: then she lowered her eyes, and there was a small pool glimmering in the night, in which all the faces of the stars were shining. "To pray to the stars," she said to herself in the night, "is surely wrong. These images in the water are not the stars. I will pray to their images, and the stars will know." And ~ Lord Dunsany
Unsaid quotes by Lord Dunsany
Then all was quiet, except for that murmurous half telling, half withholding of tremendous secrets that the sea would keep up all night. Each little wave seemed to say, "I'll tell you-" and then pull back with a smothered "Oh!" to be followed by another wave saying, "Then I will say-" but whatever it was remained unsaid and unsayable. ~ L.M. Boston
Unsaid quotes by L.M. Boston
The sour smell was not the smell of fungus. It was unlit incense, and cold ashes, and unsaid prayers. I ~ Mary Stewart
Unsaid quotes by Mary Stewart
Most stuff that is genuine is better left unsaid. ~ J.D. Salinger
Unsaid quotes by J.D. Salinger
I believe the essence of translation lies in taking what is unsaid in a work from one language to another. Words have memories, a history of their own. There are no two words with exactly the same meaning. To recreate the unspoken in another language, one needs to understand what went into making the original; then one must dismantle it and rebuild it in the other language. ~ Vivek Shanbhag
Unsaid quotes by Vivek Shanbhag
There's a difference between unspoken and unsaid," Jaycee says. "Just because chimpanzees cannot speak doesn't mean they have nothing to say; the ability to vocalize thoughts is not the same as the ability to acquire and use language ... Language is really just a systematic means of communication through symbols or sounds. Almost all animals use language. The problem is that when it comes to the issue of language, humans are incredibly narcissistic. Since we literally hold the key to their cages, our language is the only one that counts. ~ Neil Abramson
Unsaid quotes by Neil Abramson
When one has an urge to say something but wouldn't quite know 'what' & 'how' .. it is better to let it remain unsaid. ~ Neena Verma
Unsaid quotes by Neena Verma
Words can break someone into a million pieces, but they can also put them back together. I hope you use yours for good, because the only words you'll regret more than the ones left unsaid are the ones you use to intentionally hurt someone. ~ Taylor Swift
Unsaid quotes by Taylor Swift
The unsaid part is the best of every discourse. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Unsaid quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
The Japanese, if I understand them, are masters of the unsaid and the unstated, of subtlety and ambiguity, all of which constitute powerful stimulants to the imagination. ~ Semir Zeki
Unsaid quotes by Semir Zeki
Some truths should perhaps be left unsaid. Some doors unopened. An angel once told me to let go of the ills I held too close, to let go of the flaws that shaped me. ~ Mark Lawrence
Unsaid quotes by Mark Lawrence
Christianity does not want us to reduce by one atom the hatred we feel for cruelty and treachery. We ought to hate them. Not one word of what we have said about them needs to be unsaid. But it does want us to hate them in the same way in which we hate things in ourselves: being sorry that the man should have done such things, and hoping, if it is anyway possible, that somehow, sometime, somewhere he can be cured and made human again. ~ C.S. Lewis
Unsaid quotes by C.S. Lewis
Every song falls short of the glory of what a song could be. That's why the urge is there to start again and yet again. Often it's the fault of rhyme. I've discovered a hundred times that there just aren't enough rhymes to say what I wanted to say, so I said something else instead. Sometimes it was a better thing, but the thing I meant to say went unsaid. So there's an opening for another song. ~ Robert Hunter
Unsaid quotes by Robert Hunter
When there is so much left unsaid, your mind is free to fill in the words that were never exchanged in a hundred thousand different ways... ~ Mhairi McFarlane
Unsaid quotes by Mhairi McFarlane
I hold you in my mouth, in the words that contain you, in the unsaid and the haunts, in all the forms your name. ~ Gwen Calvo
Unsaid quotes by Gwen Calvo
What would you have me do? A knight doesn't look for a princess among the garbage."
"My Sam had no use for me when he first met me."
That Maddie couldn't believe. "You are Sam's princess in the tower."
"I was Sam's pain in the - " Bella smiled and tapped her behind, leaving the word unsaid. ~ Sarah McCarty
Unsaid quotes by Sarah McCarty
She was so sure, so completely certain, as she entered any room, of her power, of her contribution to the sum of beauty in the world. And yet she had always been vulnerable too, wounded by the smallest slight, and turned into a pathetic self-doubting creature by such a nothing as a kind word left unsaid, or a sum she could not add. ~ Hermione Eyre
Unsaid quotes by Hermione Eyre
I'll be there for Thanksgiving', Mike said before hanging up, and she heard his kiss on the phone--the kind reserved for family." Things Unsaid, from Chapter, "Thanksgiving ~ Diana Y. Paul
Unsaid quotes by Diana Y. Paul
Beneath her curls, I forget the world,
With a mere gaze she raises my hopes of gold.
Love is as much in her heart as in mine,
But she doesn't say it, her punishment so divine. ~ Faraaz Kazi
Unsaid quotes by Faraaz Kazi
After the temper subsides and one has a moment to calmly reflect, it isn't uncommon for declarations shouted in a fit of rage to strike one as untrue, and because they may have been hurtful to family, friends, lovers, husbands, or wives, one wishes them unsaid. ~ Frank Beddor
Unsaid quotes by Frank Beddor
EPIGRAPH "There was a very strange connection. One of those odd collisions that happen. We were a little alike; I was an unhealthy child that was kept at home. So there was an unsaid feeling between us that was wonderful, an utter naturalness. We'd sit for hours and not say a word, and then she'd say something, and I'd answer her. A reporter once asked her what we talked about. She said, 'Nothing foolish.'" - Andrew Wyeth ~ Christina Baker Kline
Unsaid quotes by Christina Baker Kline
So much of what we talked of can never be written. It was born and grew and developed but not visibly. There was no theatre. What was, remains within me, and will never leave it for it has become part of me. There are great regions in what I write to you that must stay unexpressed. The poles of feeling, the best or worst, have to be left unsaid. There must be areas of silence. It has to be. (96) ~ Sarah Ferguson
Unsaid quotes by Sarah Ferguson
I'm barely human. I'm more like a creature; to me, everything gives off a scent! Thoughts, moments, feelings, movements, words left unsaid, words barely spoken; they all have a distinct sense, distinct fragrances! Both a smell and a touch! To inhale is to capture, to experience! I can perceive and I can "touch" in so many odd ways! And so I am made up of all these scents, all these feelings! An illumination of nerve endings! ~ C. JoyBell C.
Unsaid quotes by C. JoyBell C.
You are vibrant, honest, and real. You hold nothing back . That's what I want from you . In my life, too many things must be held back or left unsaid. I'm disgusted with it. You are what life is made of and I want to feel alive again. ~ C.C. Wood
Unsaid quotes by C.C. Wood
Because we chose to tell the truth
(The cool of age, the rage of youth)
And stand against the lies of old
(The whispers soft, the tales untold)
We find ourselves the walking dead
(The love unkept, the words unsaid)
And in the crypt of all we've known
(The broken blade, the breaking stone)
We know that we were in the right
(The coming dawn, the ending night).
So here is when we stop the lies.
The time is come. We have to Rise. ~ Mira Grant
Unsaid quotes by Mira Grant
Aware of how tenuous life can be. How too many things go unsaid or undone. How we wait too long and miss the chance." "Miss ~ Suanne Laqueur
Unsaid quotes by Suanne Laqueur
Eyes reveal the unsaid things. The innocence, the flirtations, and the naughtiness all emanate from the eyes. ~ Avijeet Das
Unsaid quotes by Avijeet Das
There are no things more cruel than truths about ourselves spoken to us by another that are perceived to be at least half true. Left unsaid and hidden we feel they can be changed or eradicated, in time. ~ John McGahern
Unsaid quotes by John McGahern
And here I was at the end of my trip, with everything just as fuzzy and unreal as the beginning. It was easier for me to see myself in Rick's lens, riding down to the beach in that cliched sunset, just as it was easier for me to stand with my friends and wave goodbye to the loopy woman with the camels, the itching smell of the dust around us, and in our eyes the feat that we had left so much unsaid. There was an unpronounceable joy and an aching sadness to it. It had all happened too suddenly. I didn't believe this was the end at all. There must be some mistake. Someone had just robbed me of a couple of month in there somewhere. There was not so much an anticlimactic quality about the arrival at the ocean, as the overwhelming feeling that I had somehow misplaced the penultimate scene. ~ Robyn Davidson
Unsaid quotes by Robyn Davidson
Gossip is the art of saying nothing in a way that leaves practically nothing unsaid. ~ Walter Winchell
Unsaid quotes by Walter Winchell
True love isn't expressed in passionately whispered words an intimate kiss or a embrace; before two people are married, love is expressed in self-control, patience, even words left unsaid. ~ Joshua Harris
Unsaid quotes by Joshua Harris
The love was so passionate. Neither were happy with anyone else. But when a time came that they were able to be together, too much had been left unsaid. Too much time had passed and too much hurt filled their hearts. ~ Paula Heller Garland
Unsaid quotes by Paula Heller Garland
Her conversation was like a Russian newspaper, remarkable for what is left unsaid. ~ Guy Thorne
Unsaid quotes by Guy Thorne
There are things I back off from trying to talk about, you know. Particularly my own work. Also, there may be things better left unsaid. At times I'd much rather talk about other (people's) work. ~ Garry Winogrand
Unsaid quotes by Garry Winogrand
We were never lovers, and we never will be, now. I do not regret that, however. I regret the conversations we never had, the time we did not spend together. I regret that I never told him that he made me happy, when I was in his company. The world was the better for his being in it. These things alone do I now regret: things left unsaid. And he is gone, and I am old. ~ Neil Gaiman
Unsaid quotes by Neil Gaiman
When we learn to live well in this life with nothing left unsaid or undone we find peace, freedom and full self-expression. With that, we are capable of anything. ~ Jacqueline Harrison
Unsaid quotes by Jacqueline Harrison
There is a moment that comes into every life when the right word, the right look even, could change the shape of the world forever. The wrong one could as well, though the resulting shape would be different. No word at all, however, and the moment slips by, and things remain unsaid that perhaps should have been said, perhaps shouldn't, and no one can ever know for sure. ~ Anne Elisabeth Stengl
Unsaid quotes by Anne Elisabeth Stengl
Katrina," he said, his mouth going dry.
"I'm feeling like Winnie. I'm ready to cry."
He slid down his bars to the mesh of the floor,
feeling even more gloomy than ever before.

Katrina went over to offer some cheer,
to say something kind into Mortimer's ear.
But what could she say? What could she do
for a friend who felt so inconsolably blue?
So gently, she rested her hand on his head.
Because sometimes our words ...
... are best left unsaid. ~ Robert Paul Weston
Unsaid quotes by Robert Paul Weston
There is no time to leave important words unsaid. ~ Paulo Coelho
Unsaid quotes by Paulo Coelho
An opinion that isn't read or heard is as good as unsaid. ~ Mokokoma Mokhonoana
Unsaid quotes by Mokokoma Mokhonoana
Now - " stretching up on tiptoe, to kiss me on the cheek - "let's both be good, and truthful, and kind to each other, and let's be happy together and have fun always." xxii. SO I SPENT THE night - we ordered in, later, and then went back to bed. But though on some level it was all easy enough pretending everything was the same (because, in some way, hadn't we both been pretending all along?) on another I felt nearly suffocated by the weight of everything unknown, and unsaid, pressing down between us, and later when she lay curled against me asleep I lay awake and stared out the window feeling completely alone. ~ Donna Tartt
Unsaid quotes by Donna Tartt
They should listen to the unsaid words that resonate around the edge of the poem. ~ Gary Snyder
Unsaid quotes by Gary Snyder
There's a power that comes with silence. I had grown to fear the unsaid thing. So it felt like a release to say it-to admit that the risk wasn't just inside our walls-it was inside my skin. I was willing to claw, scratch, and bleed until I'd found it. ~ Ally Carter
Unsaid quotes by Ally Carter
Words have weight, something once said cannot be unsaid. Meaning is like a stone dropped into a pool; the ripples will spread and you cannot know what back they wash against. ~ Philippa Gregory
Unsaid quotes by Philippa Gregory
articulate and define what has previously remained implicit or unsaid; ~ Donald T. Phillips
Unsaid quotes by Donald T. Phillips
How to Sleep at Night

Try to think of nothing.
That's the secret.

Try to think of nothing.
Do not think of work not done,
or of promises unkept, calls to return,
or agendas you have failed to prepare for meetings
yet unheld.

Think of nothing.
Do not think of words said and unsaid,
or minor scandals and major investigations,
of humiliations endured, insults suffered,
or retorts that did not spring to mind
in time.

Think of nothing.
Do not think of your wife,
of lonely children and their reproachful demands,
or the smile of the pretty woman
whose handshake lingered just a shade too long
in your palm.

Think of nothing.
Do not think of newspaper headlines,
of the insistent transience of the shortwave radio,
or the seductive stridency of the TV microphones
thrust so thrillingly
into your face.

Think of nothing.
Do not think of the waif on the foreign sidewalk,
her large eyes open in supplication,
her ragged shift stained by dirt and dust,
stretching her despairing hand towards you
in hope

No, do not think
of the solitary tear, the broken limb,
the rubble-strewn home, the choking scream;
never think
of piled up bodies, blazing flames,
shattered lives, or sundered souls.
Do not think of the triumph of the torturer,
the wails of the hungry,
Shashi Tharoor
Unsaid quotes by Shashi Tharoor
This was a feeling I had often, the sense of a subtext. ~ Catherine Lacey
Unsaid quotes by Catherine Lacey
All of life like a series of tableaux, and in the living we missed so much, hid so much, left so much undone and unsaid. ~ Anna Quindlen
Unsaid quotes by Anna Quindlen
He doesn't know and he never will. I will never tell him that he is the fire that lights my soul, that he is the moon to my sky, that he is the beat to my heart.. He will never know because I will never tell him. ~ Hafsa Shah
Unsaid quotes by Hafsa Shah
The sanction made the unsaid even more palpable, as if the thoughts had been waiting outside the room, and had at last been given permission to enter; now there was no denying their presence. ~ Neel Mukherjee
Unsaid quotes by Neel Mukherjee
The kindest word in the world is the unkind word left unsaid. ~ Ashwin Sanghi
Unsaid quotes by Ashwin Sanghi
The unsaid rule for living in a trailer park is: 'If the door's shut, don't come a-knockin.' But if it's open and you're walkin' by, feel free to say, 'Hello.' ~ Matthew McConaughey
Unsaid quotes by Matthew McConaughey
That's what a good daughter is supposed to do--love her mother even if her mother doesn't love her back." Things Unsaid, from Chapter One, "Family Matters ~ Diana Y. Paul
Unsaid quotes by Diana Y. Paul
I swore that I would never say I miss you more everyday but, some things are better left unsaid ... ~ Ariana Grande
Unsaid quotes by Ariana Grande
People in bands don't have the kind of conversations people might think they have. The best things about being in a band are the things that are unsaid. ~ Thom Yorke
Unsaid quotes by Thom Yorke
It was the same mantra she had silently chanted before on other festive occasions. 'May you be happy'--her mother had wanted to be happy, hadn't she? Didn't everyone?" Things Unsaid, from Chapter, "Birthday Celebration ~ Diana Y. Paul
Unsaid quotes by Diana Y. Paul
I was very aware of office politics because I was so baffled by them. So much so goes unsaid. No one says 'you're a cheeky so-and-so,' no one says 'you're so moody,' nobody ever confronts anyone else about anything. But I'm very crass, and I'm very confrontational, and I have a temper. I had to be hyper-vigilant in every office I worked in. ~ Denise Mina
Unsaid quotes by Denise Mina
It was small consolation, but it would have to do. I squeezed his hand once more, in lieu of things unsaid. Come on. ~ Jacqueline Carey
Unsaid quotes by Jacqueline Carey
Altruism is for those who can't endure their desires. There's a world as ambiguous as a moan, a pleasure moan our earnest neighbors might think a crime. It's where we could live. I'll say I love you, Which will lead, of course, to disappointment, but those words unsaid poison every next moment. I will try to disappoint you better than anyone else has.
Mon Semblable ~ Stephen Dunn
Unsaid quotes by Stephen Dunn
The worst part about losing someone you love - besides the agony of never getting to see them again - are the things you never said. The unsaid stalks you, mocks you for thinking you had all the time in the world. None of us do. ~ Karen Marie Moning
Unsaid quotes by Karen Marie Moning
The unsaid rules every conversation. ~ Marty Rubin
Unsaid quotes by Marty Rubin
Just don't leave anything unsaid to the people who matter. It only takes a few words to change your world. ~ James Hannah
Unsaid quotes by James Hannah
The duty of the words is to say just as much as the music has left unsaid and no more. ~ Ralph Vaughan Williams
Unsaid quotes by Ralph Vaughan Williams
By swallowing evil word unsaid noone has ever yet harmed his stomach. ~ Winston S. Churchill
Unsaid quotes by Winston S. Churchill
I wish I could hold time in my hands. I wish I could talk to it. Oh, how I would ask it to give me just a few more increments of its elusive power. How can something we can't touch or see have so much control over our lives.

It was time that took you too soon, too young, before I got to say all of the things I wanted to, needed to. Things you will never know. And I carry them like a weight, these words, these sentences, right in the middle of my chest, because they have nowhere else to go.

If only time had allowed me to understand the things I would want to say after you were gone. That's the thing. They told me "don't leave anything unsaid." But I didn't know what I wanted to say until it was too late, until you were gone. It was the time afterward that held all the wisdom. ~ Jacqueline Simon Gunn
Unsaid quotes by Jacqueline Simon Gunn
You never know how long you have-there might not BE a later-so don't let things go unsaid or unforgiven. ~ Dawn Metcalf
Unsaid quotes by Dawn Metcalf
A novel is not a summary of its plot but a collection of instances, of luminous specific details that take us in the direction of the unsaid and unseen. ~ Charles Baxter
Unsaid quotes by Charles Baxter
When Straight Women Flirt …With Me

She sits on my lesbian lap
both of us too much wine
arm around my shoulder
hair carelessly tossed from her face
her full weight light upon me
sweet sweat rising in the noisy night
her laugh laps up the smoke
her lean close
her breathing flirts with mine
small confessions of girlhood slumber parties spill out and
into my ear long unspoken memories
of pairing up with other girls to practice kissing
she tosses excitement of kitten innocence
in my face
roller skate caresses
first tastes of delicious shudder

first caress and innocence innocence innocence only in a sense
implication of guilt guilt guilt
the unsaid in her sentence
she tosses excitement
her breathing breathless breathing breath breast
breasts breasts breasts oh flirt with my
around my shoulder lean close close close
both of us taste too much
too much to touch ankles thighs fingers ribs eyes ears toes
her arm my shoulder my shoulder her arm alarm disarm
dare me dare me dare me
no harm my shoulder her arm my shoulder hold her fold her
I never told her
my small confession:
I don't practice
kissing ~ Nancy Boutilier
Unsaid quotes by Nancy Boutilier
Again, the filet bows to the lily.
Again, the rose is tearing off her gown ...
The bud is shy, but the wind removes
her veil suddenly, 'My friend!' ...
And the cove to the willow, 'You are the one I hope for ... "
The ringdove comes asking, 'Where,
where is the Friend?" ...
Again, the season of Spring has come
And a spring-source rises under everything,
A moon sliding from the shadows.
Many things must be left unsaid because it's late, but whatever conversation we haven't had tonight, we'll have tomorrow. ~ Rumi
Unsaid quotes by Rumi
I will gather up a lifetime of things unsaid, write them down, and then offer them all to be lit up for security and burned. All at once.
And then I can watch the whole thing turn to ash. The whole damn thing.
Light the match, and watch it burn.
What a loaded bonfire that would be though, if this gets burned when I finish filling up the whole book.
What a cleansing experience that will be!
If flames could speak, what a story they would tell.
They say that the original bonfires were the burning up of bones. Bad bones. Bad people. Enemies. Turning bones to ash. And it was the burning up of curses and all things bad as well. God knows we have had and still have enemies, and even curses. Real ones. ~ Suzy Valtsioti
Unsaid quotes by Suzy Valtsioti
Delia," he says. "I'm going to do the best I can today."
"I know that."
"But I also wanted to say I'm sorry."
My mind swirls with sentences I read last night in Fitz's writing. "For what?"
Eric looks at me with so much unsaid that I expect the moment to crystallize, fall to the table like a marble. But he lifts his glass, breaking the spell. "Just in case," he says. ~ Jodi Picoult
Unsaid quotes by Jodi Picoult
What is written cannot be unwritten, what is said cannot be unsaid. What is remembered can be a vision; Fate can be unwoven by pulling a single thread. ~ Aja James
Unsaid quotes by Aja James
Words are potentially dangerous weapons that reveal things better left unsaid. ~ Susan Cain
Unsaid quotes by Susan Cain
Listen- all that she was then, all that she is now, those gestures, everything I remember but won't or can't articulate anymore, the perfect words that are somehow made imperfect when used to describe her and all that should remain unsaid about her- it is all unsupported by reason. I know that. But that enigmatic calm that attaches itself to people in the presence of reason- it's something from which I haven't been able to take comfort, not reliably, not since her. ~ Elliot Perlman
Unsaid quotes by Elliot Perlman
We sat within the farm-house old,
Whose windows, looking o'er the bay,
Gave to the sea-breeze damp and cold,
An easy entrance, night and day.

Not far away we saw the port,
The strange, old-fashioned, silent town,
The lighthouse, the dismantled fort,
The wooden houses, quaint and brown.

We sat and talked until the night,
Descending, filled the little room;
Our faces faded from the sight,
Our voices only broke the gloom.

We spake of many a vanished scene,
Of what we once had thought and said,
And who was changed, and who was dead;

And all that fills the hearts of friends,
When first they feel, with secret pain,
Their lives thenceforth have separate ends,
And never can be one again;

The first slight swerving of the heart,
That words are powerless to express,
And leave it still unsaid in part,
Or say it in too great excess.

The very tones in why we spake,
Had something strange, I could but mark;
The leaves of memory seemed to make
A mournful rattling in the dark.

Oft died the words upon our lips,
As suddenly, from out the fire
Built of the wreck of stranded ships,
The flames would leap and then expire.

And, as their splendor flashed and failed,
We thought of wrecks upon the main,
Of ships dismasted, that were hailed
And sent no answer back again.

The w ~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Unsaid quotes by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
She breathes music. Lives it and bleeds it. Her headphones have become her heartbeat. Her lyrics are her life. Music is her outlet of pain, love, and rage. Every note unplayed is another minute unlived. Every song unsung is another moment lost forever. She relies on music to show her the way, make fantasies real and to ease the pain of everyday life. Each day is another chance to create pure artistry. Music is the reason she is who she is...the good and the bad. Her life without it is like a bird without wings or lungs with out air. Life is for the living. Death is for the dead. Her life is her music. Her death will be the note unsaid. ~ -x-Myistic-x
Unsaid quotes by -x-Myistic-x
Even his voice had accrued a certain rancour as though the detritus of words long left unsaid inside the cave of his mouth had become rusty and scattered in tiny bits on the top of his tongue whenever he opened his mouth to speak. ~ Chigozie Obioma
Unsaid quotes by Chigozie Obioma
Some days and nights you just need to listen to her silences. And understand her unsaid words. And just be there for her. ~ Avijeet Das
Unsaid quotes by Avijeet Das
How much longer should I wait? The answer came to me. Wait as long as you need to. The waiting is as important as doing; it's the time you spent training and the rest in between; it's painting the subject and the space in between; it's the reading and the thinking about what you've read; it's the written words that , what is said, what is left unsaid, the space between the thoughts on the page, that makes the story, and it's the space between the notes, the intervals between fast and slow, that makes the music. It's the love of being together, the spacing, the tension of being apart, that brings you back together. ~ Lynne Cox
Unsaid quotes by Lynne Cox
Too many words left unsaid, instead of everything could come at once and break you all for once. ~ Sara Keddar
Unsaid quotes by Sara Keddar
It's easier to let fear win. Even though love covers all things, fear is what keeps us silent and keeps words unsaid. Fear keeps us standing in one place. Eventually, when it wins, it means we never got the courage to say what we needed to say. But the words are needed. They won't always fix things or mend things or make things better. They won't bring someone back. They won't stop a good-bye. They won't be perfect. But they'll be true. And maybe that is all we have ever needed from one another: true words written with a love that feels too big to pin down to a page with measly little syllables. ~ Hannah Brencher
Unsaid quotes by Hannah Brencher
They both knew the vitality of the unsaid, whose invisible spirits danced around them now. ~ Ian McEwan
Unsaid quotes by Ian McEwan
- That may be better left unsaid. No, ignorance is bliss, perhaps, - Utsurigi said without any shyness, - Still, you are quite gloomy. Despite those dead-fish eyes of yours.
- Saying they are like dead fish is a bit much. The Professor said "good eyes".
- Good eyes they are. Truly impressive levels of rotting. ~ NisiOisiN
