“The voice you hear is not my speaking voice - but my mind's voice. I have not spoken since I was six-years-old. No one knows why - not even me. My father says it is a dark talent, and the day I take it into my head to stop breathing will be my last.”

Holly Hunter - Ada

“She has spoken to me. I heard her voice. There was no sound, but I heard it here. Her voice was there in my head. I watched her lips, they did not make the words, yet the harder I listened the clearer I heard her, as clear as I hear you, as clear as I hear my own voice.”

Sam Neill - Stewart
