“Silence is a good friend, I repeat, as if saying a mantra. It allows for the natural progression of things.
Still, I remain nervous, anxious to fill the void as I used to with interesting questions, chit chat, sweet nothings that nice girls like me were taught to utter. ...Now what takes the place of nice, I wonder?”
-Joan Anderson, in A Year By The Sea, p. 73
