You are a slave to what you do say, a master of what you don

Summary

This quote suggests that our words have the power to control and bind us, while our silence grants us authority and control. It implies that by speaking impulsively or carelessly, we become servile and constrained by our own words. On the other hand, withholding information or remaining silent gives us mastery over situations, allowing us to hold power and manipulate outcomes through strategic choices of not speaking. In essence, it emphasizes the importance of thoughtful communication and the potential consequences of both speaking and not speaking.

For the first time in my life a feeling of overpowering stinging melancholy seized me. Before, I had never experienced aught but a not unpleasing sadness. The bond of a common humanity now drew me irresistibly to gloom. A fraternal melancholy! For both I and Bartleby were sons of Adam. I remembered the bright silks and sparkling faces I had seen that day, in gala trim, swanlike sailing down the Mississippi of Broadway; and I contrasted them with the pallid copyist, and thought to myself, Ah, happiness courts the light, so we deem the world is gay; but misery hides aloof, so we deem that misery there is none.
