Empty

Famous quotes containing the word empty:

    And I think in this empty world there was room for me and a
    mountain lion.
    And I think in the world beyond, how easily we might spare a million
    or two of humans
    And never miss them.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    To people off alone, as we were, there is something stirring about finding evidences of human labour and care in the soil of an empty country. It comes to you as a sort of message, makes you feel differently about the ground you walk over every day.
    Willa Cather (1873–1947)

    In vain we lavish out our lives,
    To gather empty wind;
    The choicest blessings earth can yield
    Will starve a hungry mind.
    Isaac Watts (1674–1748)
