Quote by Kahlil Gibran

You talk when you cease to be at peace with your thoughts; And when you can no longer dwell in the solitude of your heart you live in your lips, and sound is a diversion and a pastime. And in much of your talking, thinking is half murdered.

You talk when you cease to be at peace with your thoughts; A

Summary

This quote suggests that excessive talking often arises from a restlessness within oneself. When one becomes unsettled with their thoughts and is unable to find solace within their own mind, they resort to constant talking. This incessant chatter becomes a means of distraction from facing their inner turmoil. However, in the process, deep thinking and introspection are compromised. The quote serves as a reminder to value silence, solitude, and self-reflection rather than being consumed by meaningless words that hinder genuine thought.
