You talk not to communicate, you talk just to hide – to hide the fact that you are dumb. Next time you start talking with someone, watch: why are you talking? Why are you so verbal? What is the need? Suddenly you will become aware that the fear is, if I remain quiet the other will think I am dumb. So you talk just to hide this fact – and you know there is nothing to say, yet you go on talking. - Osho
