Conversation

"Sometimes it is inevitable that we will come into contact with people whose curiosity goes beyond common decency. It is no common pleasure to rebuke such intruders with silence. We remain silent. We don't even look at him, but with the calmest and most expressionless face possible. And we are silent, as if they were completely deaf. We are careful not to utter an offensive word. The imperfect man may be corrected, but not pricked. It is against the law of human kindness. Silence is sometimes eloquence."
