Who said “Speech is the small change of silence.”?

“I don't want to talk grammar. I want to talk like a lady.”

“Speech is human, silence is divine, yet also brutish and dead: therefore we must learn both arts.”

“Speech and silence. We feel safer with a madman who talks than with one who cannot open his mouth.”

“Man does not speak because he thinks; he thinks because he speaks. Or rather, speaking is no different than thinking: to speak is to think.”

“Many great writers have been extraordinarily awkward in daily exchange, but the greatest give the impression that their style was nursed by the closest attention to colloquial speech.”

“Kissing don't last: cookery do!”

“Cynicism is intellectual dandyism.”

“I expect that Woman will be the last thing civilized by Man.”

“Passions spin the plot: We are betrayed by what is false within.”

“Possession without obligation to the object possessed approaches felicity.”

“Ah, what a dusty answer gets the soul when hot for certainties in this our life!”
