Empty

Famous quotes containing the word empty:

“The skylines lit up at dead of night, the air- conditioning systems cooling empty hotels in the desert and artificial light in the middle of the day all have something both demented and admirable about them. The mindless luxury of a rich civilization, and yet of a civilization perhaps as scared to see the lights go out as was the hunter in his primitive night.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)

“How empty is theory in the presence of fact!”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

“Nor for my words shall ye forget your tears,
Or hope again for aught that I can say,
The idle singer of an empty day.”
—William Morris (1834–1896)
