The Silence quotes

  • Ester: I didn't want to accept my wretched role. But now it's too damn lonely. We try out attitudes and find them all worthless. The forces are all too strong. I mean the forces... the horrible forces. You need to watch your step among all the ghosts and memories.

    Ester: All this talk... There's no need to discuss loneliness. It's a waste of time.

  • Ester: No, I don't want to die like this. I don't want to suffocate. Oh, that was horrible. Now I'm frightened. That scared me. That mustn't happen again.

    Ester: Where's the doctor? Must I die all alone?
