A new pain enters and the old pains of the household receive it with their silence, not with their death.
Entra una nueva pena y las viejas penas de la casa la reciben calladas, no muertas.

More quotes by Antonio Porchia
Sometimes I believe that evil is everything, and that good is only a beautiful desire for evil.
Among the superficial, if you are not one of them, one of them has to lead you by the hand.
Cuando no creo en nada, no quisiera encontrarme contigo, cuando no crees en nada.
Hasta las flores, para emanar sus perfumes, han menester morirse un poco.

To sin by silence, when we should protest,
Makes cowards out of men.
Blessed is the man who, having nothing to say, abstains from giving us wordy evidence of the fact.
There are times when good words are to be left unsaid out of esteem for silence.
