"The problem is no longer getting people to express themselves but providing little gaps of solitude and silence in which they might eventually find something to say. Repressive forces don't stop people from expressing themselves, but rather force them to express themeslves. What a relief to have nothing to say, the right to say nothing, because only then is there a chance of framing the rare thing that might be worth saying" (Gilles Deleuze, cited by Jenny O'Dell in How to do nothing).
