Henry David Thoreau Quote

In human intercourse the tragedy begins, not when there is misunderstanding about words, but when silence is not understood.


A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers (ed. 1873)


In human intercourse the tragedy begins, not when there is misunderstanding about words, but when silence is not understood.

In human intercourse the tragedy begins, not when there is misunderstanding about words, but when silence is not understood.

In human intercourse the tragedy begins, not when there is misunderstanding about words, but when silence is not understood.

In human intercourse the tragedy begins, not when there is misunderstanding about words, but when silence is not understood.
