Quote by Sheri S. Tepper

She knew... everything. She had no words for what she knew. The pause became anticipatory silence. There were no words she could use for the reality and truth and understanding she had been given.

She knew... everything. She had no words for what she knew.

Summary

This quote highlights the protagonist's profound knowledge and understanding of some undisclosed matter. Despite being aware of everything, she lacked the ability to verbalize or express what she knew. The ensuing silence created a sense of anticipation and emphasized the elusive nature of her insights. This highlights the limits of language in capturing profound experiences or truths that defy conventional expression.
