But some one who can really talk, because he knows how to remain silent, will not talk about a variety of things but about one thing only, and he will know when to talk and when to remain silent. Where mere scope is concerned, talkativeness wins the day; it jabbers on incessantly about everything and nothing.”
― Søren Kierkegaard
