"Behind the depressing silence of the sea, the silence of God ... the feeling that while men raise their voices in anguish God remains with folded arms, silent." ~ Shūsaku Endō, Silence
"Sin is not what it is usually thought to be; it is not to steal and tell lies. Sin is for one person to walk brutally over the life of another and be quite oblivious of the wounds they have left behind." ~ Shusaku Endo, Silence
