Greetings Picu,
What do you recall is the meaning of the quote? Does it say whether
silence is good or bad?

hi. it is about silence is bad. it's about silence to injustice.

Could it be that you are recalling the Latin proverb (translated):

"Silence is the voice of complicity"

Hi Picu,

Is this the quote you're after?

"As is the inevitable result of things unsaid, we find ourselves until
today oppressed with a dangerous and reverberating silence..."

You can read it in context at <http://www.dcgogo.com/jamesbaldwin.html>

Hope it was at least interesting,

Dear Picu, 

How about
"To sin by silence when they should protest makes cowards of men." ?
