People who live in the night are acquainted with all kinds of quiet. There’s quiet enough to hear the distant traffic. Quiet enough to hear your breathing. Quiet enough to hear a lover’s heartbeat. There’s please-god-don’t-let-me-die quiet, and can’t-remember-her-name quiet. Is-he-lying quiet and can’t-make-rent quiet. There’s the quiet that inspires poets, and quiet that torments the lonely. .

About This Quote

"People who live in the night are acquainted with all kinds of quiet. There's enough quiet to hear the distant traffic, not too much to hear your breathing, enough to hear a lover's heartbeat, please God don't let me die quiet and can't remember her name quiet. Is he lying and can't make rent quiet. Noisy places like New York City and Las Vegas are particularly noisy because they're always crowded.

They're noisy because people always want something from others and never give anything in return. Quiet places like a library or a hospital are quiet because there's no one trying to get you to buy something or do something for them. Quiet places like a church or a graveyard are quiet because people aren't trying to get you to join their cause so they don't have to talk about it.

Quiet places like a museum or a library are quiet because there's no one trying to persuade you that what they're telling you is important and that they would know more than you about it."
