the quiet that finds you when the world finally stops yelling.

means comfort or consolation in a time of distress, grief, or disappointment.

from From Latin solari, "to console or comfort," which gave us solacium, "a soothing." It traveled through Old French as solas before settling into English, carrying its consoling warmth all the way. It's a cousin of "console" itself, both reaching back to that same Latin urge to ease another's pain.
