The closest I could find is
Silence accompanies the most significant expressions of happiness and unhappiness: those in love understand one another best when silent, while the most heated and impassioned speech at a graveside touches only outsiders, but seems cold and inconsequential to the widow and children of the deceased.
by
Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904), Russian author, playwright. Narrator in The Enemies, Works, vol. 6, p. 35, “Nauka” (1976).

I do not know about that exact quote. But Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz said "Sometimes silence does not mean that there are no things to be said, but that words can not hold within themselves all of that which has to be said."
"Response to Sor Filotea de la Cruz"
