Did he speak that quote or…?
Replying to @marwilliamson
Yes. The age of keeping silent is over. We have the knowledge of speaking-up our own self creator.
Replying to @marwilliamson
I think it's a mistranslation. The original is meant to convey that the ineffable Way cannot be put into words and those who try to systemize it end up misleading others and themselves. @katyperry

I prefer you have two eyes, two ears and one mouth. Use them accordingly.
Replying to @marwilliamson
Only one group benefits from silence, and neither I nor the vast majority of humanity is in that group.
