"The assigned purpose of our words, in unity with the word of God, is to express the real, as it exists in God; and the assigned purpose of our silence is to signify the limit which is imposed upon our words by the real as it exists in God."
-Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Ethics, 332.
This short essay by Bonhoeffer on "Telling the Truth" in his Ethics was a very encouraging and insightful read. It is only 9 pages long so I would recommend picking up the book from the library and reading through this short little chapter.
