Talking / Kahlil Gibran

AND then a scholar said, Speak of Talking. 
And he answered, saying: 
You talk when you cease to be at peace with your thoughts; 
And when you can no longer dwell in the solitude of your heart you live in your lips, and sound is a diversion and a pastime. 
And in much of your talking, thinking is half murdered. For thought is a bird of space, that in a cage of words may indeed unfold its wings but cannot fly. 
There are those among you who seek the talkative through fear of being alone.
