It does not do to rely too much on silent majorities, Evey, for silence is a fragile thing... One loud noise, and it's gone.
But the people are so cowed and disorganised. A few might take the opportunity to protest, but it'll jist be a voice crying in the wilderness.
Noise is relative to the silence preceding it. The more absolute the HUSH, the more shocking the THUNDERCLAP. Our masters have not heard the people's voice for generations, Evey. And it is much louder than they care to remember.

All of the badness boils under my skin, stingy ginger-ale bubbles fighting to breathe. I unbutton my jeans, slid-ing the zipper open one tooth at a time. I twist to the right and push down the elastic band of my underpants. My left hip arches up, glowing blue in the movie light.
::Stupid/ugly/stupid/bitch/stupid/fat/ stupid/baby/stupid/loser/stupid/lost::
I inscribe three lines, hush hush hush , into my skin.
Ghosts trickle out.
The shape-shifters put on jet packs and follow the monsters to an asteroid.
I put the blade back in the box, and the box back in the bag and press my hand against the wet cuts until the credits roll. Just before the lights come up, I stick my fingers in my mouth.
I taste like dirty quarters.

Dediklerine göre, birini öldürdüğünde onun sadece o anda olduğu şeyi değil...
...gelecekte olacağı her şeyi de alıp götürürmüşsün.

#There is only one Lord of the Ring.
‘Hurray!’ cried Pippin, springing up. ‘Here is our noble cousin! Make way for Frodo, Lord of the Ring!’
‘Hush!’ said Gandalf from the shadows at the back of the porch. ‘Evil things do not come into this valley; but all the same we should not name them. The Lord of the Ring is not Frodo, but the master of the Dark Tower of Mordor, whose power is again stretching out over the world. We are sitting in a fortress. Outside it is getting dark.’

""She said, 'I'm so afraid.' And I said, 'Why?,' and she said, 'Because I'm so profoundly happy, Dr. Rasul. Happiness this is frightening.' I asked her why and she said, 'They only let you be this happy if they're preparing to take something from you,' and I said, 'Hush up, now. Enough of this silliness.'""
