Quote by Aldous Huxley

Silence is as full of potential wisdom and wit as the unhewn marble of a great sculpture.

Silence is as full of potential wisdom and wit as the unhewn

Summary

This quote suggests that silence possesses immense potential for wisdom and wit, similar to how an uncarved block of marble holds the potential to become a magnificent sculpture. Just as the form and beauty of a sculpture can be shaped by the artist, silence allows room for thought and reflection, enabling profound insights and clever remarks to emerge. It implies that within the serene stillness of silence lies an untapped wellspring of intellectual and humorous brilliance.
