"Cada palabra es como una mancha innecesaria en el silencio y la nada"
— Samuel Beckett
Simplified Meaning:
Words can sometimes ruin the peace and quiet. Imagine you are in a beautiful, silent forest. The calm surroundings make you feel relaxed and at peace. Now, imagine someone starts shouting loudly. The shouts would disturb the quiet and spoil the peaceful moment. Just like that, sometimes it's better not to speak and to simply enjoy the silence. When we talk too much or say things that are not important, we take away the beauty of quiet moments. In real life, this means that not everything needs to be said. Sometimes, keeping quiet and listening can be more powerful and meaningful than trying to fill the silence with words.
