Master dialogues

Satyajit Ray was once asked : "Why do your films have less dialogue than most other film makers?"

He answered : "Every time I have to use words to explain a scene, a situation or an emotion, I feel I have failed as a director."

So is it in life. 

How many times have we used words and wished later that we had not? If we have to use words to explain our emotion, then our love has not spoken till now. If we have to use words to convey our happiness, then our smile has not spoken till now. If we have to use words to give an instruction every time, then our living philosophy has not spoken till now. 

Let us use words - only if it is better than silence.
