"Nothing has changed the nature of [humans] 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, as something natural as the sky above or the air we breathe. Man who has lost silence has not merely lost one human quality but his whole structure has been changed thereby."

Knowledge of Time, Max Picard, 1948
