Susan Griffin, American Writer

Silence, Speech

"She was in a terrible marriage and she couldn't talk to anyone. He used to hit her, and in the beginning she told him that if it ever happened again, she would leave him. He swore that it wouldn't and she believed him. But it only got worse after that, like when his dinner was cold, or when she mentioned that she'd visited with one of the neighbors who was walking by with his dog. She just chatted with him, but that night, her husband threw her into a mirror."

"When one is frightened of the truth then it is never the whole truth that one has an inkling of."

Truth

"There are two godheads: the world and my independent I. I am either happy or unhappy, that is all. It can be said: good or evil do not exist. A man who is happy must have no fear. Not even in the face of death. Only a man who lives not in time but in the present is happy."

Contentment

"Everything that can be thought at all can be thought clearly. Everything that can be said can be said clearly."

Clarity

"A picture of a complete apple tree, however accurate, is in a certain sense much less like the tree itself than is a little daisy."

Nature

"The sole remaining task for philosophy is the analysis of language."

Philosophy

"Put a man in the wrong atmosphere and nothing will function as it should. He will seem unhealthy in every part. Put him back into his proper element and everything will blossom and look healthy. But if he is not in his right element, what then? Well, then he just has to make the best of appearing before the world as a cripple."

Adaptation

"If you tried to doubt everything you would not get as far as doubting anything. The game of doubting itself presupposes certainty."

Skepticism
