Annie Ernaux, The Years p. 95:

At every moment in time, next to the things it seems natural to do and say, and next to the ones we’re told to think--no less by books or ads in the Métro than by funny stories--are other things that society hushes up without knowing it is doing so.

Then the silence breaks, little by little, or suddenly one day, and words burst forth, recognized at last, while underneath other silences start to form.
